10 Most Expensive Wines: A Connoisseur's Fantasy

#9 Penfolds Grange Hermitage 1951

Price - $38,420

In 1951, winemaker Max Schubert was given the task of producing Penfolds Grange’s first table wine (prior to this they made fortified wine only). The wine was not well received but Schubert continued to make the wine regardless.

The 1951 is the rarest of all the Granges. It was an experimental vintage wine and was not released commercially. Only 1800 bottles were made, most of which were given away by the creator of Grange, Max Schubert. Only 20 bottles are known to still exist today. Schubert implemented wine-making techniques observed in Bordeaux upon his return, aiming to create a red wine able to rival the finest Bordeaux wines both in terms of quality and ageing potential.
