    Using its expertise to source these vintages, Le Clos curated 60 years of Australian
wine history in 61 bottles, which includes;

       
        - the extremely rare Grange 1953 Cabernet Sauvignon, of which there are
          believed to be only a handful in the world
        - the 'hidden vintages'; 1957, 1958 and 1959
        - award-winning vintages considered amongst the best in the world; 1955, 1976,
          1990 and 2008
        - the most recent 2010 Penfolds Grange launched last month to mark the 60th
          consecutive release of the wine

    The makers of Penfolds Grange have worked closely in collaboration with Le Clos to
certify the collection, including the re-corking of six vintages by Penfolds Chief
Winemaker Peter Gago.

    Le Clos has created an innovative proposition for sale, allowing the eventual buyer to
admire the unbroken chain of vintages as part of a complete collector's set, as well as an
additional two vintages from each decade, for them to taste and enjoy.

    Oliver Dixon, Head of Wine at Le Clos commented: "The fact that we are hugely
passionate about our customers has been the real driver in creating this collection. At Le
Clos we are incredibly proud to have collated what is the most complete and unique Grange
set in the world. We are excited to bring something so rare to wine lovers and enthusiasts
travelling to and through Dubai."

    Peter Gago, Chief Winemaker, Penfolds added: "We are delighted that Le Clos has

ideal location to bring the Penfolds Grange story to global consumers."

    Le Clos transported the wine collection with meticulous care in climate controlled
storage, 12,000km to its new home in Dubai, working in partnership with Emirates Group
companies' dnata, Skycargo and Freightworks. The retailer has created a bespoke, climate
controlled installation designed to display its 'jewel in the crown' in-store, with a
