The Penfolds re-corking clinic will be on the road again this autumn visiting the UK, US and Canada as the service enters its 25th year.
The pop-up London clinic will take place on Friday 30 September at Haberdashers¡¯ Hall in the City.
As usual, chief winemaker, Peter Gago, and his team will be on hand to help assess, certify and top-up bottles as well as inform collectors on drinking windows and cellaring conditions.
An expert from Christie¡¯s will also be available to give valuations and advice on opportunities when consigning at auction.
In the 25 years that Penfolds has offered its re-corking service, over 130,000 bottles of wine have been inspected by the team.
Gago said: ¡°After 25 years, the re-corking clinics continue to amaze and evolve, transcending all our expectations. The notion that every bottle has a story continues to reign true.
¡°As winemakers, it is so meaningful and rewarding to meet collectors and share their personal story of their wine¡¯s unique journey. Professionally it is gratifying to witness the ongoing quality of rare treasures that span so many decades, each one adding to the unfinished story that is Penfolds.¡±
Appointments are necessary and only wines of 15 years or older should be considered for inspection.
