Six decades of Grange in Hong Kong auction

(Hong Kong) Christie’s will auction a full set of Grange spanning six decades, from the experimental first vintage of 1951 through to current vintage of 2006. In what is thought to be one of the finest collections of Penfolds Grange ever sold, each bottle has been authenticated and signed by one of Penfolds Chief Winemakers including Max Schubert, John Duval, and Peter Gago – custodians of Grange, past and present.

The collection was acquired over several decades by a South Australian private collector and close friend of Max Schubert’s Mr Reno Munuzzo. Schubert personally cellared the earlier vintages, periodically re-corking bottles as necessary. In recent years the collection has been cellared underground at Magill, showcased in custom-made timber cabinets.
