Vineyard Notes
Hay Station Ranch has been in the Kautz Family for four generations. What started as a cattle ranch has now become home to over 100 acres of premium mountain vineyards located adjacent to the Ironstone winery and entertainment complex. Ironstone’s Reserve Program focuses on three key elements: appellation, vineyards and winemaking artistry.
Winemaker Notes
Fully mature grapes were harvested on September 2, 2019 at 25.5 Brix. Prime Chardonnay clusters were hand selected for their outstanding quality and then experienced a gentle, whole-cluster pressing. The wine was aged “sur lie” in new French oak barrels that were hand stirred weekly for the initial four months of the aging process. This process caused the wine to undergo spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The casks were stored in our underground wine caverns that remain a natural 60 degrees Fahrenheit year-round temperature. This Chardonnay received additional bottle aging prior to release.
