Ironstone Whites Other
Sierra Foothills whites, poured in Commack for decades.
The story behind Ironstone
Ironstone is a Kautz family operation. John Kautz Farms started in 1948, the family planted its first Lodi wine grapes in 1968, and John and Gail Kautz opened the winery in Murphys, in Calaveras County, in 1990. The tasting room sits inside a replica gold stamp mill, which tells you something about how seriously this family takes the Sierra Foothills.
The whites come from serious vineyard acreage in Lodi and the foothills. Symphony, the grape behind Obsession, is a California crossing of Muscat of Alexandria and Grenache Gris, and it gives the wine its floral, grapey lift. We have poured these bottles across this counter for years because they deliver real character at a working price.
