Types of Wine Considered

The Manager will consider a variety of wine parcels. Each has a different degree of potential risk and reward

Types of Wine Considered

Most wines purchased by the Fund
will have been awarded a minimum 90 points by Robert Parker or Neal Martin of the Wine Advocate, or will have received other internationally recognised critical acclaim.

 

First and Second Growth Bordeaux

The most famous wine names in the world. Often difficult to buy due to high demand and limited production. Slow to mature and therefore part of a long-term buying strategy, however returns can be substantial.

Grand and Premier Cru Burgundy (Red & White)

Only the high-end wines from a relatively small number of producers each with tiny productions. Very hard to source and usually through the secondary market. If good quality stock can be found there are very good returns for the astute purchaser.

Other French Regions, including Champagne

A select number of top performing producers from the Rhône, Loire, Alsace and Languedoc-Roussillon can offer solid returns here. Champagne demand continues to be very strong with no sign of abating. Famous names such as Dom Perignon and Krug provide the best opportunities.

Australian Wines

More widely known for producing commercial drinking wines, Australia also has wines of considerable quality and noteworthiness, which must not be overlooked. Modern classics, such as the sought-after Penfold’s Grange and Clarendon Hills Astralis, are the mainstay here.

Italian Wines

The ‘Super Tuscan’ estates allied to classics such as Brunello di Montalcino are still very much in demand internationally. The portfolio concentrates on leading producers and some emerging stars from Tuscany and Piedmont. Strong U.S. demand for the top wines make Italy an attractive alternative to France.

North American Wines

Napa Valley is often considered the best wine producing region outside of Bordeaux. 'Garage' wines with rave reviews from Parker and The Wine Spectator will always generate interest. Opus One, Dominus and Screaming Eagle are the focus here. These are sound purchases, but hard to source.

Other Classified Bordeaux 

These make up the large proportion of the Bordeaux production. The slightly larger production/lower cost levels make these generally easier to source yet remain much in demand and are often drunk earlier. These have medium-term investment potential.

Portuguese Wines

Vintage Ports from famous Houses such as Taylor’s, Warre’s and Fonseca are the names to follow here. Their worldwide reputation maintains their worth, and demand is relatively stable.

Spanish Wines

The Ribera del Duero, Priorat and Rioja regions have built up an international following over the last few years. An emphasis on outstanding estates such as Vega Sicilia, Pingus and Alvaro Palacios continue to lead the way.
