Single-Owner Private Collection of Fine Wines from Bordeaux, Rhône Valley, South Africa, Italy and more going under the hammer. 

29 Jun 2024

Strauss & Co is proud to unlock our first offering from a remarkable private cellar of a respected collector in our July timed online wine auction.

The impressive collection offers depth across many categories and styles, all meticulously collected and stored, allowing buyers a look into unique and interesting wines seldom listed on local platforms, along with big names from established regions and producers.

With all vintages from the 2000 to 2019 on auction, this is a rare opportunity to purchase fine wines close to maturity.

On a local front, the highlights are spearheaded by all the modern era 100 Pointers, with Sadie Family Columella & Skurfberg, Porseleinberg, Kanonkop Paul Sauer, Boschkloof Epilogue and Mullineux Olerasay all part of the catalogue. 

Early vintages of David & Nadia and Kaapzicht 1947 and the full range from the coveted Alheit Family Vineyards highlight a mouthwatering selection of top Cape Chenin blancs. 

Top vintages from Stellenbosch are also represented by Cabernet and Bordeaux reds from leading producers such as Kanonkop, Meerlust, Mvemve Raats, Le Riche and Thelema.

For those preferring the best of Cape Syrahs, deep verticals of Boschkloof Epilogue, Porseleinberg and Sadie Family Columella crown a wide offering of this exciting category.

The international list is diverse and will suit all palates with iconic reds and more niche wines. The Bordeaux list is full of classics, such as Calon-Segur, Canon and Lynch Bages, while Rhône-lovers will delight in the hallowed names of Alain Graillot, Clape and Clos de Papes. A stellar line-up of Italian names include the fine Tuscans of Salvioni, Ill Poggione and Tignanello. Rioja is well represented with various vintages of Lopez de Heredia, Muga, Macan and La Rioja Alta.
