Latest special from DM - Clean skin 93 point Sav Blanc apparently half the price of the labelled version…
"Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc Current Vintage: 2014*
This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from premium vineyards across the Marlborough region, and made by one of the most famous names. It shows bright, zesty flavours and retains its fresh, tropical fruitiness."
I think most cleanskin sales on DM do not give you the original value of the labelled version.
Also the 93 point score (which I usually agree loosely) is worthy of $5 a bottle
I find the only thing a 'Dan Murphys wine panel' score guarantees is how much stock they need to shift. It's a rating that can be bought by suppliers, and is dependent on the discounts they give to DM's. Cheap price + high score = 'we got a big discount and need to move this crap quickly'.
Sorry to be so cynical.
agree! or the higher profit margin!
read the customer reviews can contradict their scores.
I really want to know the names of the panel and who's the employer
Personally, I'd avoid chancing a cheap sauvignon blanc cleanskin. Far too risky.
Dan's have a pretty good return policy, so no risk in my opinion. If they are not as described, I will just take them back for a refund.
Aldi also sells cleanskin NZ SB for $2/bottle?
its not a NZ, its "south eastern australia" which means "we bought the cheapest grapes we could for our loss leader batch". Theirs arent even a cleanskin, there is no label at all! Also they've gone up to about $13 bucks for the 6 pack now
All the above said, i buy and drink them
DM's cleanskin marlborough SB is quite a good drop imo for the price.
Lately i've been drinking the $6 hardys 1L "reserve" SB. Its not bad for the price of a cleanskin https://www.liquorland.com.au/lle2e/Product/8485253/Hardys-R…
If you want a guaranteed good drop for $42 a 6 pack https://www.liquorland.com.au/lle2e/Product/7214192/Cradle-B…
edit: ugh why do i know so much about cheap wine
My bad. I thought the aldi SB was NZ. Thanks for the correction Matt.
And what is the labelled version of this wine? Otherwise, you're just telling us there's a marlborough cleanskin for sale at DM's. That's no real deal. Cleanskins can be bought for cheaper than the one above https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_917087/cleanskin-re…
