Cellaring wine is a deeply personal experience. Some of us like to stash away bottles for future occasions, while others like to watch and wait as their wines develop, and some collectors buy beautiful wines for the sake of owning them and adding to their collection. Whatever your intention, we have 60-odd wines here that are perfect for cellaring.
From sparkling to chardonnay, to shiraz and cabernet sauvignon, each of the wines in this guide will improve with time – although you can't go wrong if you drink them now either. Make sure you read the Q&A with the producers so that you know what to expect as the wine ages.
And if you click through on each wine, you'll find the 'drink to' date nominated by the taster to ensure you don't miss the peak drinking window!
