A 1951 Penfolds Bin 1 Grange wine has sold for a record price at @ auction. It went to a Melbourne buyer for more than $103,000 – the highest price ever for a bottle of Australian wine. This wine broke the previous record of $81,000, which was set in December 2019.

So that roughly works out about $17k per glass. But don’t drink it just yet - if you bought this bottle in December last year the value would have gained a 27% increase in 7 months.

Langtons have a bit of Grange history on their website and outlined the 1952 vintage, regarded as the first commercial release, was probably sold at around 15 shillings ($1.50)

The initials RWT stand for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’, the name given to the project internally when developmental work began in 1995. Naturally, now no longer a ‘Trial’ RWT Shiraz was launched in May 2000 with the 1997 vintage.

They have the precision, concentration, persistency and balance to age for many years.  The best vintages should last at least thirty years. 🍷

Another special occasion wine. Was lucky enough to try this at the Brisbane

I actually first tried Clos Otto back in days when the owner Keith Hentschke was pouring the wine at the cellar door. I think it was the 06 vintage (but I could be wrong) anyway since that visit Clos Otto and

have won 100’s of awards and more 96+ scores than you can remember. Special place in my wine heart 🍷💝 So how does this stack up? Perfectly. You just know this wine is built for the next 10 years plus. You can really appreciate this when you taste it. Every flavour you can think of and already I’m working out how many I can afford to buy. Good old

Buy Again: Yes. This has 20+ years left and would love another for the cellar. 🍷

Sometimes, just for a special occasion you buy something special. Outrageous even.

The Bin 707 is Cabernet Sauvignon version of Grange 🍇

A detonation of happiness erupts on your tongue with a tsunami 🌊 of different tastes and flavour rolls through your mouth. What the 🤬 just happened?

You gather your thoughts and start to dissect it but I can’t. I don’t want too.

This is just too good to worry about anything else. Brilliant...simple...

If your wondering why this didn’t get a A+, the reason was I know this is very young and no where near it’s peak. It is holding something back for this reason. Hence why I would love one for the cellar. .

Penfolds will be releasing the next wine superstar with the g4.

So at a powerball winning price of $3500 per bottle, What is it?

Well let’s call it the Grange of Granges. The g4 is a blend of four Grange vintages: 2016, 2008, 2004 and 2002, all in one bottle.

Penfolds Chief Winemaker Peter Gago outlines the wine will develop in the cellar until 2080. Yes that’s correct 2080. Which would make a perfect 100th birthday present for myself in 2078.

Only 2,500 bottles were produced, so I better win powerball...simple...
