A classy boutique wine that puts many dearer wines to shame
‘Kim, heartily agree on the Topers chardy. What a terrific wine at that price. Bought 6 cases.’
Offer Details: We’ve negotiated another special with the good people who make the brilliant Topers Chardonnay 2013. Last week we ran a promo on this wine for paying subscribers, and they loved the wine (see comments below). Now we’re offering the Topers to all our followers at $170 for a dozen (plus freight) which includes a free 12-month subscription to our Best Buys Weekly mailer. The discount code is BWU20.
About the Wine: The bronze medal awarded to this wine provides yet more proof that our show system is broken. A very good friend told me that he’d drunk a number of fancy Chardonnays in recent weeks – Voyager Estate and Flametree SRS among them – and that he preferred the Topers. He added that he’d ordered 3 cases of it.
A subscriber wrote in saying: ‘Lovely understated wine – very very moreish! Reminded us of a Chablis. Very classy. We’re going to order some more, it’s such a great bargain. Thanks for finding.’ He did order some more – 3 cases of it to be precise. Another subscriber wrote: ‘Thanks Kim – I ordered a ½ case the other week & we love the wine. Just ordered 2 dozen.’ Another wrote: ‘That Topers deal was just too good to resist. Thank you for cutting through all the marketing spin and calling a wine on its value and bang for buck.’ The only complaint I’ve had was that ‘the bottles don’t last long enough.’
The wine is made by Madrez Wine Services, a contract winemaking business run by Lucy Maddox and Christophe Derrez in Orange, from Cowra fruit. They’ve been making other people’s wines for over a decade and have amassed stacks of trophies for their wines, which does not surprise me. Only 1200 cases were made, and the reason there’s any of the Topers left is simple: No profile and No Marketing.
So grab some of the Topers Chardonnay 2013 for $170 for a dozen (plus freight) before it’s gone and get a free 12-month subscription to our Best Buys Weekly mailer. The discount code is BWU20 – enter 12 into the box, hit BUY and enter BWU20 on the next page. Press update and you’ll see the discounted price. The offer closes on Friday July 17.
