Lovers of wines in large-format bottles may be tempted by an auction in Coonawarra later this month.
The Imperial Wine Auction will be a key element of the features of the 36° South Coonawarra Vignerons Cup race day.
There will be the opportunity to bid on exceptional large-format wines from some of the region’s top producers, including Zema Estate (Nick Zema above).
The Coonawarra Vignerons Cup will be run on Friday, January 16, at Penola, and the 44th running of the race day and will see eight six-litre imperial bottles go under the hammer.
The 2026 catalogue spans vintages from 2006 to 2021.
Coonawarra Vignerons marketing and events manager Heidi Guyett said interest was expected from wine collectors across Australia.
“The Imperial Wine Auction is consistently one of the most talked-about highlights of the day," she said.
"These are truly special wines - one-off imperials presented in bespoke velvet-lined display cases and labelled exclusively for the 36° South Coonawarra Vignerons Cup."
Many of the imperials will be personally signed by the winemaker/producer on the day.
The featured wines are:
• Balnaves of Coonawarra - 2010 ‘The Tally’ Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
• Bellwether - 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
• DiGiorgio Family Wines - 2021 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
• Raidis Estate - 2016 ‘The Trip’ Cabernet Sauvignon

• St Hugo - 2012 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
• Wynns Coonawarra Estate - 2012 Michael Shiraz

Registered bidders will be able to participate via phone bidding.
