Bright and approachable, this Light Harvest Red Blend offers inviting aromas of fresh raspberries, cherries, and soft floral notes. The palate is lively and fruit-forward, with flavors of ripe strawberry, red plum, and a touch of cranberry, balanced by smooth tannins and a lighter body. Crafted with lower alcohol and a fresh, vibrant style, this easy-drinking red finishes clean and refreshing—perfect for casual gatherings, warm evenings, and everyday sipping
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
