Spring is in the air and so is the excitement of our next online auction. This is your chance to explore the world of fine wine (and a few spirited surprises) without leaving your chair. Our catalogue is brimming with rare finds, timeless classics, and conversation-worthy bottles, This is our invitation to dip your toes, or your glass, into the secondary market.
Think of this auction as a tasting journey. One moment you’re swirling a New Zealand Pinot, the next you’re lost in the spice of Spanish reds, before pausing for a dram of whisky. Let’s take a little tour.
We kick off close to home with a stellar line-up of New Zealand’s Wine. Expect Coleraine, Larose, Helmsman, and other heroes of Hawkes Bay and Waiheke, plus soulful Pinots from Central Otago and Marlborough. Add in smart Syrahs, crisp Chardonnays, Rieslings with verve, and even a touch of sweetness.
Cross the Tasman for bold Cabernet blends and the signature richness of Shiraz. Rieslings from Eden and Clare Valleys bring a racy edge, while sparkling and sweet wines round out the collection. Australia brings both power and finesse.
Adventure seekers will find treasures from regions less travelled - South Africa, the Americas, and beyond. Think curiosity, character, and wines that challenge the ordinary.
Germany sings in this catalogue, with Rieslings in their many expressions: steely, racy, honeyed, and age-worthy. For lovers of aromatic whites, these are bottles to savour and share.
Step into la dolce vita with Barolo and Barbaresco, alongside Brunello, Chianti, and Super Tuscans that define Italian luxury. The reds are commanding, the whites intriguing, and every bottle tells a story of place and passion.
Rioja classics and Ribera del Duero gems shine in this auction. Layers of spice, depth, and elegance remind us why Spain remains a darling for collectors and drinkers alike.
No secondary market would be complete without France. Bordeaux first growths and Right Bank stars, Burgundian Pinot and Chardonnay, Rhône Syrahs, Champagne, and more. This is the beating heart of fine wine collecting.
From vintage Port to beautifully aged fortified styles, our Fortified section offers bottles to linger over long after dinner has finished. Swiftly followed by a roll call of character: single malts, blends, and rare bottlings. Whether you’re a seasoned whisky lover or just beginning, this is a golden opportunity.
Finally, for the adventurous, there are rare gins, distinctive liqueurs, and a few curios that will make excellent talking points at your next gathering.
The Early Spring Rare and Fine Wines Online Auction closes on Sunday 7 September at 7pm. Bidding is already open, so take a stroll through the catalogue and mark your favourites.
As with any second-hand purchase, there’s an element of risk. The good news is, you can minimise this by checking vintage reports, browsing critic reviews, and setting realistic expectations. To help even further, we provide detailed photographs of every lot so you can inspect each bottle from the comfort of your chair.
Of course, the real prize is when you land a wine at its absolute peak of maturity—showing the full spectrum of primary fruit, evolving secondary notes, and those deeply satisfying tertiary flavours. For many, that reward far outweighs the occasional miss. If that balance feels right to you, you’ll find a tempting array of wines at different stages of maturity waiting in this auction.
A reminder: all bids are binding. Place them with confidence and good luck - may the best bidder win.
