'07 Dan Murphy's Cellar Release - Out Now

Dan Murphy's 2007 Vintage Matured Wines

  • Matured to perfection
  • Guaranteed seal of quality
  • Climate controlled cellar
  • Wines from the greatest producers in Australia

For most major Australian wine regions, other than those located in Western Australia and the Hunter Valley which experienced excellent conditions, 2007 was a challenging vintage. Generally speaking, most wines are more fruit-forward than those from slower-ripening vintages. Whilst this does mean that most of the ‘07 range will not have the extended longevity of the so-called classic vintages, many will be great drinking now or over the next few years as medium-term propositions.
