Our local shop in Christchurch did a cellar-aged rieslings, mostly local winery brands spanning from 2000 to 2019. Someone just had 120 cases of rieslings sitting in their cellar room, and decided today was the day (1 case was non-riesling whites)
Bottle prices started from $10nzd to $40nzd ($5.90usd to $23.60usd a bottle). Most of the german rieslings, including JJ Prum and Loosen were all gone by the time I got there, and it was only 40mins after opening hour.
I managed to snatch some decent rieslings on good vintages, and went through a case of non-rieslings and picked me some other aged aromatics to use for my studies/notes.
I picked up 14 bottles for about $290nzd ( $171usd ), will update on future on how they do.

Why do I never come across these sales?!
This is filthy amazing, always wanted to try old Felton road Rieslings
And mt. Difficulty, nice!
Dang JJ Prum. I would buy that Felton road, craggy range, and wairau river stuff.
Any German ones??
Let me know how those 09s and back vintages age under screw caps.
