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 the 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 - Brazilian businessman Bernard Weinert founded this winery in 1975, purchasing a dilapidated 19th-century cellar and hiring winemaker Raúl de la Mota to help him rejuvenate it. In 1977, they released the first vintage of Estrella, a barrel-aged malbec of uncommon finesse and complexity that sent waves through the wine world. This 1994—made by de la Mota before his retirement, and then shepherded through 16 years of barrel-aging by Hubert Weber—should send waves through the wine world today - After all, how many other Argentine malbecs could age so well? Made from fruit handpicked off vines that were 60 years old at the time, fermented in epoxy-lined cement tanks and aged in large, neutral French-oak casks, it’s astoundingly alive - It has the rich, earthy scent of freshly turned soil, with notes of mint and tobacco adding finesse
