The Coats Family Cellar is arguably the most prestigious fine wine collection ever offered in South Africa. It contains a deep collection of the world’s finest, most sought-after wines, spanning more than 150 years! Collected over many decades, the cellar was imported from Ireland to South Africa via reefer and has been cellared professionally since. Each bottle within the Coats Family Cellar was authenticated by Michael Egan in August 2022 and given an ID number for tracking.
Michael Egan is a world expert in fine and rare wines and counterfeiting, with more than thirty-five years of experience. Along with Egan, the Strauss & Co and Wine Cellar teams have tasted extensively through the cellar and are confident of the wine storage and quality. The entire collection is currently stored at Wine Cellar.
