Description

The 2024 De Iuliis Verdelho is an outstanding value offering from one of the Hunter Valley’s most reliable producers.

This fresh, zesty white bursts with tropical fruit aromas - think lychee, passionfruit, and a touch of pineapple. On the palate, it’s crisp and lively with vibrant fruit and refreshing natural acidity, leading to a dry, clean finish that keeps you coming back for more.

This Verdelho is perfect for those warm Aussie days, whether you're enjoying it on its own or paired with spicy Asian dishes like laksa or Kung Pao chicken, cutting through the richness and heat with ease. 

A versatile, crowd-pleasing wine that offers fantastic quality at an affordable price!

THE STORY

Verdelho, as a variety, has an extensive history
in the Hunter Valley. In the early 1820s, pioneering figures like
James Busby and John Macarthur brought Verdelho from Europe.
Initially, it was used mainly for fortified wines.
These vines that produce this Estate Verdelho
were planted on our Lovedale Road property in the early 90s.

THE WINE

This Verdelho bursts with fresh, tropical aromas
like lychee, passionfruit, and a hint of pineapple.
It’s crisp on the palate, with vibrant fruit
characteristics that
mirror the nose with an added touch of lemon
rose geranium. A touch of natural acidity keeps the
finish clean and dry, making you want another sip and another...

THE VINTAGE

The 2024 vintage was fast and furious with the
ideal conditions of hot and dry weather
condensing the harvesting window to four weeks. A dry period
throughout the growing season saw the vines
flourish. Yields were down, but quality was high which is ideal for
our small family owned winery.

THE POTENTIAL

To fully experience the
vibrant and generous fruit flavours that define Verdelho, it is recommended to enjoy it while young.

Although this wine can develop further complexity with a few years of cellaring, it is
perfectly delicious to enjoy now.

THE MATCH

Craving spicy Asian cuisine? This 2024 Estate
Verdelho is your perfect match! Its bright acidity
and refreshing fruit notes will cut through the
richness and heat, making each bite sing.
Pair it with a Malaysian
seafood laksa, Kung Pao chicken, or Chongqing
hotpot for a truly
unforgettable culinary
adventure.

De Iuliis

De Iuliis - pronounced [de uli ~ iss] - is one of the brightest stars from the Hunter Valley.

Owners Joss and Anna De luliis first planted vines on their estate in the famous Lovedale sub-region back in 1990, but it wasn’t until their son Mike got involved after graduating from the world-renowned Roseworthy campus (Adelaide University) in 1999 that things really took off.

Today Mike crafts an excellent array of site-specific wines that are a very good modern representation of what the Hunter Valley has to offer.

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.
