    just curious, after opening the bottle, how soon should it be consumed?

    • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 06/08/2022 - 06:27
      +1

      Great question. Like any bottle of wine, it should really be consumed within 2 to 3 days or else the wine becomes oxidised.
      These are great formats for aging ( the larger the bottle) the better the aging potential for the wine. And they're great formats for collectors or large parties and get togethers.
      Hope that helps.
      Cheers! RD :-)

        2-3 days? I thought this was a challenge?

      • Antikythera on 07/08/2022 - 00:11

        have you seen any nitrogen systems in the consumer space?

        our venue had "Big Bottle" then later "The House" branded 6lt in a dispenser unit. the Shiraz and Sauv Blanc both in the same unit. white side chilled. both poured with nitrogen gas to dispense. because it used the inert gas there was no spoilage even if it took weeks to sell each bottle.

        • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 07/08/2022 - 08:08

          You’d need a fair amount of gas given the size of the bottle. They will still spoil over time. I was at another McLaren Vale cellar door yesterday who were using Coravin. One wine was oxidized. The purpose of these really is the big party, special occasion, gift or collectors cellar piece. Cheers! RD

    Why not just sell your wine at a reasonable price rather than having to do 40-50% off to sell them. Buying your wine at full price seems a bit silly when you have to do big discounts to sell them. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    It’s like supermarket jacking up their prices of items by 100% and then advertising a big 50% discount. I find it annoying.

    • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 06/08/2022 - 09:06

      Morning @gamemaster. Happy to explain, though I won't be able to do it justive entirely here. :-)
      The Hardy family have been making wine for 170 years and across six generations and started what is still today one of the world's largest wine brands. Wine production and distribution is what we do. More than happy to walk you through distribution startegy if you want to give me a call on 0433 166 181.
      Specifically, on this deal, these large formats were made in volume for distributors in China. We all know what occured there. We're simly righting stock levels by knocking the excess out at a discount. Hence my comment once they are gone, they are gone.
      You'll notice that virtually all the other deals are export labels, not our core domestic labels.
      Please feel very welcome to be in touch at the phone if you'd like to chat further. Have a great weekend. Cheers! RD :-)

        Not entirely true as your "domestic labels" like pertaringa undercover are regularly offered on the likes of vinomofo for 50% off

          Again, not as entirely black and white as you suggest. As I said, not a topic I can do justice to here but I am more than happy to take a call if you are genuinely interested. Cheers RD :-)

        As a true OzBargainer, I calculate this to be $30.75 per 750ml. I note it's $33 per 750ml full retail price. So while it may be a slight discount it's also much less convenient for storage and consumption.

        More importantly though, if 6L is $410 RRP ($51.25/bottle) why on earth is it so much more per litre than a 750ml bottle? Shouldn't it be cheaper to buy a larger quantity?

        • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 06/08/2022 - 14:46
          +21

          Interesting analysis. Full RRP is $40 for current release which is 2019 (accept you might find a retailer listing at less than $40). Museum release 2017 would attract a slightly higher price at $47.
          Cost of prodction on larger formats produced on a smaller scale is considerably higher. The glass alone is considerably higher than a pro-rata 750ml bottle, again because they are manufactured on such a smaller scale.
          Cork costs a lot more than pro-rata 750ml and each bottle has to be hand filled as they can't go down a bottling line.
          Packaging on this includes includes a wooden presentation box and hand waxing. These are collectors pieces, gifts, curios, fun party pieces. If you;re looking strictly on a per ml basis, then yes, perhaps buy eight bottles.
          Happy to have a chat on 0433 166 181 if you'd like to know more.
          Have a great weekend.
          Cheers!

      They'll be singing now and will go for a good few years yet. Interestingly, just bottled the 2021 vintage (no large formats from this vintage) just this week. It'll hang around in bottle for a little time now before release.
      Enjoy the weekend! Drink well.

  • Ayanami on 06/08/2022 - 11:44

    Hi OP, is the closure natural cork or diam? If natural cork, where is it sourced from?

    Apologies for the pedantry, but if I buy this I expect it's going to sit around for at least 10 years…

    • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 06/08/2022 - 11:52

      Hi. good question. Both the hand selected natural cork and the Diam30 closure that we use for large formats will suit long-term againg. From memory, the closure on these is hand selected cork. With a wax cover. I recently drank the last of our 2002 1.5L bottles and it still had a few years left in it. Hope that helps. Cheers RD.

  • timmypete on 06/08/2022 - 18:50

    Thanks OP - picked up one as a gift, plus a couple of other things.

    Large format bottles can be a great gift on a significant birthday, to be enjoyed at the following significant birthday. We gave my dad a Salmanazar (9L bottle, or approvimately a dozen standard bottles) for his 40th and enjoyed it at his 50th.

    A lot of decanter necks aren't great for such large bottles. We poured into a wide-necked glass jug initially, and then kept two decanters topped up through the night for filling glasses.

      It’ll drink well from the time of bottling for fifteen plus years. I was drinking a 2002 (20 years old) not so long back and it had a few years left. Like any wine a guide to aging is just that - a guide. Afterall some people don’t even enjoy aged wines. Hope that helps. Cheers! RD :-)
