We anticipate picking our Murphys Verdelho early next week.
Overall, the quality of all of our grapes look outstanding this year. Unfortunately, the yields are either short or very short depending upon the variety!"

Ironstone Winery (Murphys/Calaveras County) - HARVEST REPORT
Ironstone Winery's Steve Millier, Director of Winemaking, reports from Murphys in Calaveras County:
"We had our first day of crush on Tuesday, September 13th. We crushed our “Rous Vineyard” Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel which came in at 25.5 brix and was absolutely beautiful. This is a very special wine for us, as it is a single vineyard designate in our Reserve range. The vineyard was planted in 1909, so as you can imagine it comes in intense with very low yields!
We anticipate picking our Murphys Verdelho early next week.
