James Halliday Private Collection Auction
There is no greater champion of Australian wine than James Halliday. Winemakers hang on word of his reviews, and his awards stop the wine industry every year. But what does the man himself collect? Now you can find out. James Halliday’s Private Collection is an insight into the most influential voice in Australian wine. Rare German rieslings, fine Burgundy, and Rhône layer a collection built on strong foundations of Australian greats. We proudly offer you access to the James Halliday’s Private Collection.
