THE LOT INFO

Open Sesame … 

If you are a connoisseur with a sense of adventure, then this is your lot: a treasure waiting to be yours – quite literally – at your bidding.  

Creation Wines, in conjunction with philanthropists, Guy and Julia Hands, are delighted to afford the winner of this hugely rewarding lot a vast and eclectic collection of close to a thousand wines.  Many years of thought and understanding went into sourcing and compiling this extensive, once in a lifetime assortment. 

If you are drawn by the allure of the unexpected, this is a singular opportunity to bolster your private cellar. The sheer volume of wines on offer is quite remarkable and, frankly speaking, a collector’s dream. The collection has a largely South African and French flavour but has been sourced from around the globe. The rare vintages date back to the early 1960s while the range of cultivars and blends is equally captivating. Among the gems are selected vintages from Kanonkop, Meerlust and Clos des Mouches, to mention but a few.  Several wines are still in their original boxes and wooden crates with a few tantalising unmarked bottles or illegible labels to add to the mystique. What unknown jewels might yet be revealed?  

Consider a collection containing well over 600 red wines alone. Add to this a sizable number of white, rosé and fortified wines plus some bottles of Champagne and sparkling wine as the cherry on top. All fit for the connoisseur’s cellar and the collector’s bucket list. The joy of owning the collection will be as much in the tasting as in the personalising and categorising of such a valuable acquisition. An itemised list is available on request.  

Please bear in mind that your purchase will enable and enhance the quality of education of children living in the Cape Winelands. You can ask for nothing more rewarding.
