Bottles from the private collection of legendary Australian winemaker Max Schubert – best known as the creator of Penfolds Grange – are being auctioned off through Oddbins Wine Auctions. 

There are 24 bottles of Penfolds wines listed for auction, with starting bids ranging from $200, to $18,000 for a 1962 Bin 60A Kalimna Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz. The bottles were originally cellared at Auldana, although have been stored in an air-conditioned, humidity-controlled underground family cellar in recent years.

“We are honoured to present the wines from Max Schubert’s personal cellar,” says Graeme Hyde from Oddbins Wine Auctions. “These bottles represent a remarkable legacy in Australian winemaking history, and we expect unprecedented interest from collectors around the world.”

This is the third time Oddbins, who has a longstanding relationship with the Schubert family, has auctioned off wines from Max Schubert’s personal cellar. A fourth auction is due to take place just before Christmas. 

The online auction begins on October 15 and will close at 8pm on October 21. To view the collection, visit the Oddbins website.
