Description

Sabi Wabi’s Sugi Semillon is a fresh spin on a Hunter classic. Winemaker Peta Kotz lets the wine hang out on skins for two weeks, then leaves it on lees for six months, giving it a bit of extra body, texture, and flavour. It’s Semillon, but with a bit more attitude.

This is a wine that feels good in the glass - powdery tannins, a salty tang, and layers of lemon myrtle, stone fruit pith, and white flowers. It’s picked early to keep things zippy and fresh but still has that savoury, textural depth that makes you want to take another sip. Easy to love, easy to drink, and just that little bit different.

Peta’s all about making wines that are raw, real, and a little offbeat - embracing imperfections and letting the fruit speak for itself. Sugi is exactly that!

    Disappointed

    While my Wife loved the wine, I was very disappointed in your response to my photo and complaint about a large piece of ? In one of the bottles. I have been a wine drinker (from Grange down) for many years and I know and understand what fermentation sediment is. For you to pass off what I found as normal just beggars belief. I for one will never buy or recommend your product to anybody.

Sourced from the Brycefield vineyard, located on Lovedale Road amongst gently undulating land in the heart of wine country in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley. Brycefield stands proud in its elevated position overlooking Pokolbin & Lovedale, with sweeping views of the Brokenback Ranges. West facing, planted on sandy loam & farmed sustainably.

Handpicked, destemmed & skin macerated for 2 weeks in stainless steel. Basket pressed & returned to stainless where spontaneous primary fermentation & natural malolactic conversion occurred followed by 6 month maturation on gross lees. Unfined, unfiltered & minimal SO2 added at bottling.

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.
