A collector since university, more than 30 years ago, this consignor was on his school’s wine tasting team in England and was fortunate to have access to the university’s cellars to taste and learn about fine wines. He developed an appreciation for age worthy wines and began to purchase and carefully store them. Later in life he became friends with winemakers in old and new world regions and was able to purchase highly allocated wines through them. He also buys wine from agents and the LCBO and occasionally from auction and all bottles go directly to storage at Iron Gate.
Producer notes- The estate was founded in 1891 by John Riddoch, and bought in 1951 by David and Samuel Wynn, who began to focus on the productiong of Cabernet Sauvignon. By 1981, vineyard holdings had expanded to 440 hectares (1087 acres), making Wynns the largest estate in the region. The figure is now nearer 850 hectares (2100 acres), a small percentage of which is farmed under contract. The brand's flagship wine is the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon. It is sourced from the best parcels of Cabernet and is produced only in optimal vintages. It is aged in French oak barrels, small portion of which are new and will happily cellar for a decade or more.
