Description
Just a kilometre from Chatto’s home block at Isle, the Seven Inch vineyard could almost be its twin - but like any siblings, it has a voice all its own. Planted in 2007 and lovingly tended by Max and Sue Kitchell, this site has been part of the Chatto stable since 2014 and has become one of the Huon Valley’s most quietly compelling Pinot vineyards.
In the glass, the 2023 Seven Inch Pinot Noir is rich yet chiselled, marrying opulence and structure with the elegance we’ve come to expect from Jim Chatto. It’s a blend of four clones - 115, G5V15, D5V12, and 8104 - with just 12.5% whole bunch to add aromatic lift without overwhelming the wine’s natural grace. There’s a swirl of rose petals on the nose and a velvet touch of tannin through the finish.
Textural, poised and sumptuously detailed, this is a Chatto Pinot with plenty of charm and a core of quiet power.

"Struck-match tones over red cherry and plum fruits… complex, airy and lithe with spice, brambly tones, charcuterie and crushed stone. Porcelain palate presence."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

"Smoky charcuterie and sweet-fruited lushness… ripe, supple tannins with fleshy texture and long finish. Meaty and delicious."
- Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

"Dark cherries, rose petals, boysenberries and gun smoke… creamy texture with blackberries, orange peel and raspberries. Best from 2028."

Ordering
We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
- The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
- We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
- We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
- It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.
- It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.
We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.
At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!
No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.
We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.
To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you.
If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.
If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
