Bidding advice
You can place bids either under the lot image on the main auction page or on the right side of the individual lot page.
Placing a Maximum Bid
Use the "Set your bid limit" button on the left side of the bidding panel to enter the highest amount you're willing to bid on a lot. Our system will then automatically raise your bid in set increments if you’re outbid, up to your maximum. If someone bids above your set limit, we’ll notify you by email so you can choose whether to increase your bid.
Placing a Single Bid
Alternatively, place a single bid by selecting the button on the right side of the bidding panel. The button displays the amount needed for the next increment. For example, if the current highest bid is £50.00, the button will show "+ £5.00" (reflecting a £5.00 increment).

Bottle Details
Viña Tondonia 2001 Rioja Reserva
This red wine from the northern Spanish DOC of Rioja is a blend of Tempranillo (75%) and Garnacho (15%), with Graciano and Mazuelo together contributing only 10%; matured in oak barrels for 6 years.
An interesting note is that when the term \"Reserva\" was defined in the 1970s, the owner of Viña Tondonia, Don Pedro López Heredia, objected and refused to use the new classifications on his labels. Viña Tondonia continue to label their wines on the principle of an \"Estate Classification\" as even their entry-level wine would naturally qualify for the legal term of \"Gran Reserva\".
