Appellation: Sierra Foothills Blend: 57% Chardonnay,21% Viognier, 22% Muscat Aging: Stainless Steel
Winemaker Notes: Bright, crisp, and easygoing, this Light Harvest White Blend features fresh aromas of citrus, green apple, and stone fruit. Juicy flavors of pear, lemon, and white peach shine through, finishing clean and refreshing. Lower in alcohol but full of flavor, it’s made for sunny afternoons, patio hangs, and easy sipping with friends
Vineyard Notes: The Kautz Family grows these grapes on their family vineyard in Calaveras County. The vineyards are located 2400 ft. above sea level where warm days are cooled by the evening mountain air. This area’s unique soil of decomposed granite mixed with volcanic sediment and red clay produce a wonderful mineral component.
Sustainable Viticultural Practices: 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.
