Brand overview
Our Story
Rare Vintage is an Australian fine wine specialist built on a broker model. Founded in 2023 and based in South Australia, we work for our clients, not to clear stock.
A client tells us what they want. We find it, inspect it, and ship it directly to them. We do not buy speculatively. No house brands. No stock to clear. No conflict of interest.
Brokerage
The broker model
Most wine companies sell from stock they own. Their commercial interest is to sell you what they have, at the price they need. We operate differently.
Access.
Ex-château releases, négociant stock and trade allocations that never reach Australian retail.

Every wine is inspected by us before it ships, whoever it comes from.
