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 for 2020 Racines Chardonnay Wenzlau Family Vineyard - Racines is a collaboration by two classic houses from France,
led by Etienne de Montille and Brian Sieve of Burgundy and
Rodolphe Peters of Champagne. The team came together to join
their individual experiences in hand-crafting wines of purity and
transparency to create a range of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from
the cool climate of the Sta. Rita Hills in California. Our newest single vineyard chardonnay is sourced solely from the
Wenzlau Vineyard, one of our estate holdings. We farm the vineyard
ourselves using organic practices. Wenzlau Vineyard sits surrounded
by Rita’s Crown, Mt. Carmel, and Sea Smoke Vineyards, on a steep,
dramatic hillside just above the Santa Ynez River and across from the
famed Sanford & Benedict Vineyard. The wines were fermented in a combination of 500L puncheons, 350L
barrels and 228L barriques, resulting in about 20% new oak on the
wine. After nearly a year in barrel, the wines and all the lees were
moved to tank for an additional five months of cellaring. Elevage -
11 months - 20% new French oak - 5 months in stainless steel
