Colgin Cellars: A Retrospective and the 2018 New Releases

“I beg of you, please do not call us a cult wine,” pleaded Paul Roberts as he introduced Colgin Cellars. “Because when you are a cult, you are hot, then you are not. And we have just made our 30th vintage.” Roberts is a master sommelier and chief operating officer of Colgin Cellars and he had a message to get across: that despite the hype and the prices – a three-bottle-case of any 2018 Colgin new release retails at £1,425/US$1,608 plus excise duty and tax – Colgin bottles are not mere fashion must-buys but wines with a past, present and future.
