"We only produce wine from those grapes which can be grown in Texas as well or better than anywhere in the world." We have incorporated custom equipment to delicately handle single vineyard small tonnages of superior grapes from vine to glass. Our handling capabilities allow us to better manage picking, transport, de-stemming-crushing, and temperature control during fermentation and aging culminating in wines of character and balance.
