Founded in 1978, the 30 hectares winery is planted with Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Pinot Noir.

 

In 1988, the winery was taken over by Peter Carroll, a partner in Oliver, Wyman and Company, a New York City management-consultant company, and John Pancoast, an independent management consultant for US$ 1 million. They had leased the winery and vineyards from Mr. Lenz, and have an option to buy them.

 

Lenz product offerings and wine brands can be summarized in the following:

 

Old Vines - Cabernet Sauvignon (670 cases), Merlot (628 cases), Chardonnay (400 cases), Estate Selection Merlot (950 cases). Generic offerings - Merlot (2,436 cases), Cabernet Sauvignon (659 cases), Gewürztraminer (798 cases), a Blanc de Noir (100% Pinot Noir, 160 cases), "White Label" Chardonnay (2890 cases), "Gold Label" Chardonnay (570 cases), and a Cuvee, a blend of 70% Pinot Noir, and 30% Chardonnay (309 cases, Traditional Méthode Champenoise)

 

Today the winery is owned by Peter Carroll and John Pancoast, assisted by winemaker Dan Kleck, vineyard manager Sam McCullough and winemaker Eric Fry.
