Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Delivery confirmation email @8:30 last night and delivered this morning at 9am. I had spoken with Jeff (I think) on Tuesday confirming my address, which had not loaded correctly in their system

Last night I wasn't sure if it was the Femme, as company was Bam Wine Logistics and this was my first order from FWC

Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice would have said.
As far as I can see, Femme NV is not even listed on the DL official website .

And, as a side story for those intrigued by the earlier confusion re bottle size, I had an email last night from the company stating inter alia that:
“For now, Femme de Champagne 2000 is still available in bottles 75cl and Femme de Champagne 2004 is only available in half bottles 37.5cl.(half bottles of Femme de Champagne are only available in 2004 vintage).”

Qaz covered this a couple of pages back with a link to an interview where they explained that the Femme has gone NV for vintages good enough to produce a Femme but not at the level of outstanding years.
Outstanding years will be released as vintage.

current NV is apparently 2004 - though they seem to have released some half bottles of this as vintage

Ah yes, the German interview.
But my point is that the Femmes NV is not listed on the Duval Leroy site currently, although the interview appears to date back a couple of years.
The email I received from the company said that they are working on a "brand new on line shop in the next few months", so perhaps they will catch up then. :)
And yes, as reported earlier, there was a release of 2004 in 375ml.
Over and out. :)

The Penfolds products I had in my cart were removed and are no longer showing on the site.

This may be of use if anyone is after single bottles of Barossa old vine company shiraz 2015 @ $120/b: ($70 after promo)


I've no experience with it personally.

Woolworths bought the label in 2013 from Langmeil:

They have also bught Chapel Hill wines; Krondorf wines; Riddoch wines and Isabelle Estate in New Zealand. Cheers Rug
 
Be wary when buying Dan Murphy specials as the Vintage advertised via the rating given, eg 95, isn't the one actually supplied! Dan Murphy blames their marketing department, though it happens a little too often for comfort.
Troe but the Wine Companion does show 95 points for the 2014; 96 for the 2013 and 94 for the 2015. Cheers Rug
 
If the later vintages taste as good as the earlier ones I've tried (thanks Rug!) then there should be no doubt about how superbly these wines drink 🙂!

Pretty sure they don't own Chapel Hill although CH do make some wines for Woolworths/CM.

 
Got mine today. There was no delivery advice.

Mine arrived this morning. No delivery advice and I'd signed up and ordered shortly before the mistake was removed from the website

Hadn't heard from them at all since the order confirmation so glad to see them show up.

This isn't correct. It was widely reported in the media as a recent purchase.
 
JD's Secret Wine #160 appears to be Hobbs of Barossa Ranges Gregor Shiraz 2016.
Looks like its under cork.

I don't know this wine so can't comment about value for money.
