A light golden color with aromas of green apple and nectarine. Noticeably refreshingly fruity flavor followed with a lingering, delightful finish.
A crisp and refreshing wine full of flavors of pears, apples and light pineapple, it is sure to delight! Wonderfully refreshing with slight sweet notes on the finish.
At Ironstone, we use crop reduction, leaf removal, organic materials, and drip irrigation to improve the quality and intensity of flavors. Cover crops, which attract beneficial insects, are also employed. In addition, we place owl and wood duck boxes around the vineyards and ponds helping to preserve the surrounding habitats.
Grapes were selected from quality vineyards throughout California, but primarily in the Lodi appellation. French Colombard, as it is called in North America is an early ripening white grape variety. It is often used to add “backbone” and acidity to white wines, but is wonderful when made into a Sparkling wine.
Steve Millier, Director of Winemaking selects this special “California Champagne” (aka: Sparkling Wine) from premium French Colombard grapes.
