Penola Coonawarra Vignerons Cup 17th January 2025

Doug Bowen holds the 2022 Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon alongside the wine purchaser/highest bidder for his imperial, Jodie Deland at $3100 at the Coonawarra Vignerons Cup 2025
The height of the event was reached with the Imperial Wine Auction capturing the attention of wine lovers in the marquee, raising just shy of $20K on the day.
Presented in a bespoke velvet-lined, jarrah display case crafted by JBR Joinery, eight 6Litre imperial wines went under the hammer, with some fierce bidding seeing the overall auction total raise just shy of $20K.
Each imperial was signed by the respective winemaker or family winery owner on the day before being handed over to the purchaser. The imperial wines averaged a sale price of $2,440.
