On October 11, we picked our Sierra Foothills (Calaveras County) Muscat Canelli. The grapes are tested at 26.8 brix and show distinctive floral notes. The 2011 vintage Muscat Canelli when bottled will be our second release of the Ironstone Reserve Muscat Canelli. These are limited release wines that are exceptional, exciting and just enjoyable!
The rain on October 10 has slowed production, but we anticipate continuing to pick our Estate vineyards. After the Muscat Canelli, we will move back to another Chardonnay vineyard followed by Tempranillo.
