Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Though it seems the BWS clearance list has been decimated for now, perhaps after being listed on OzB.

Is there background on how Langton's has so many back vintages of Clarendon Hills available?
So the way it’s been told to me, it all goes back to WW2. Two young fellas — one from McLaren Vale whose family had some vines up on what’s now Clarendon Hills, and the other from Sydney, tied in with what eventually became Langton’s. They ended up serving together in New Guinea.


Their CO at the time was this bloke everyone apparently called RedBigot. He didn’t much care for either of them — reckoned they were too cheeky, didn’t follow orders to the letter. So naturally the two of them stuck together, thick as thieves. Shared rations, smokes, and even the odd dodgy bottle that found its way into camp.


Anyway, during one of the nastier pushes, one of the lads was hit pretty bad. They called for Dr Ralph but by the time he got there, there wasn’t much he could do. In his last moments, the story goes, he grabbed his mate’s hand and said something along the lines of, “If your family ever has wine to sell, promise me you’ll sell ours alongside it. Keep it flowing, no matter what.”


Fast forward a lifetime, Clarendon Hills builds up a bit of a back catalogue, fashions shift, and suddenly Langton’s is moving stacks of their wines. Some reckon it’s just stock clearance. Others know it’s that old battlefield promise being honoured, decades later, mates’ rates and all.
 
Anyone got any blisteringly good sub $20 a bottle white wine deals outside of Riesling and Chardonnay (love the stuff but im well stocked) that they'd heavily vouch for at the moment?

Keen for some weeknight wines for the warmer weather. I like funky summery styles with a bit of character primarily. Love a Pinot Gris with a little time on skins, a textured vermentino or fiano etc. etc.

Can't seem to find anything too inspiring on the fo, winestar or langtons sales at the moment so I thought I'd shout out here before I go and get a decent interesting mixed dozen from a solid retailer at full whack.

As I was reading through this ripping yarn I was sure @Captain Halliday or @CaptainCurtis would feature somewhere in the tale. I guess I’ll have to wait for the next chapter …

Moonrise Fiano / Vermentino 2025 - $27 — blood moon wines
The 2025 vintage was released yesterday, and comes in under $20 by the dozen for mailing list clients, (for the next week). It always rates well on winefront . I jump on it each vintage. I'm sure you could email Matt and ask for the launch email, with code.
