Penfolds Grange hermitage back to

Limited release Australian
wines Museum
Cellared Wines
(best cellared wines in the world)
Our museum wines are kept at the BEST cellaring conditions we know of. See
photos on
top left to show you the control panel. At 12.5 deg Celsius constant, humidity 53 to 55,
24 hrs a day, 365 days a year, Grange will keep 50 years plus.
Our advise for those who may compare prices over the web, make
a careful check as to
the condition the wines are kept in, present and past. Having been the same owners since
1976 (33 years), we know and lived with our wines, whereas other older wines
sold by
some traders maybe bought on the secondary market for re-sale, and who
knows how
and where they were stored and more importantly,
under what temperature variations.
Grange stored in uncontrolled
space, has a failure rate of 50% in Canberra, 75% in
Brisbane.
That is an easy way to tear up good
$$$$$ and if they find their way on to
the secondary market and you buy them - then it is "Russian roulette". Public
Wine Storage Public
Wine Storage is available in our
maturation room- contact
Geoff Marsh on 61 2 62514247.
We will
give you a certificate of
"provenance" (Dictionary:-
source) if you decide to
put your wines
up for auction.
