MAX SCHUBERT COLLECTION
The following wines (Lot 256 to 286) are from the private collection of the late Max Schubert AM, creator of Australia's greatest wine, Penfolds Grange. The collection comprises some Grange, some experimental bin wines and other wines that were kept by Max for their particular personal, experimental and varietal interest and the individual characteristics they displayed.

As such, they are an important and historic part of the evolution of Australian red wines. Most bottles bear Max's signature and some have comments handwritten on the labels, and these are quoted where applicable. Some wines have Max's rankings taken from his stock book.

Each bottle is accompanied by a signed certificate from Max's wife, Thelma, attesting to the provenance of the wines.

This offering represents a unique offering to acquire wines with great historical significance and impeccable provenance, with Max's personality living on in each bottle.
