Pinot Noir

Vineyards

The Kautz Family grows these Pinot Noir grapes in their Thorston Ranch property in the Jahant sub-AVA, closest Lodi AVA to the California Delta, a vast waterway that directly connects to the Pacific Ocean. These vineyards benefit the greatest from the daily ocean breezes, making it one of the coolest areas in Lodi.

Ironstone practices sustainable viticultural such as crop reduction, leaf removal, organic materials and drip irrigation to improve the quality of the grapes and intensity of flavors. Cover crops, which attract beneficial insects, are also employed, as well as the placement of owl and wood duck boxes around the vineyards and ponds to help preserve the surrounding habitats.
