Auction Valuations

As the years have passed, we have observed a significant increase in the secondary market price for Hill of Grace, which began to wane at the turn of the century. While the price of older, rarer vintages continues to rise, the secondary market price for more recent releases has also experienced an increase, mirroring ever increasing prices at release. It is important to note that earlier vintages have become increasingly valuable as they grow rarer, most vintages at auction sell for around $500 - $600 per bottle. Some of the values in the pricing table lag the price obtainable at auction and it is always best to get a current and up to date valuation when you are considering selling your bottle of Henschke Hill of Grace.

Notes on pricing and valuation

Low Range
Typically, price clusters form over time at market value. The low value is then calculated from the average accumulated hammer price at auction from multiple Australian wine auction houses over a 6 month period. All prices are for bottles with no damage or ullage. Well stored bottles with a documented purchase and storage history will always attract the best prices.

High Range
High prices are typically outliers or record high values achieved over a long period of time and,typically, includes only a very low sample of bottles sold, never the average and most often only a single bottle.

Last sale
This figure is not shown, as using it in isolation can produce a false sense of the true value of a bottle.

A note on auction reserves
All auction houses generally set a reserve price 10% less than the low price range. This allows for fluctuations of the market price going down as well as up.
