How the Wine Gets Made

Vine to bottle, all on these acres.

The Vineyard

100% Estate-Grown

Every bottle starts on these acres at the quiet end of Orchard Avenue. The vineyard is small enough to walk in an afternoon, with the kind of soil and afternoon light that suits Bordeaux varietals — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc — and just enough cooler corners for Chardonnay.

The vines are tended by the same hands that pick the fruit. Nothing crosses the property line we didn’t grow ourselves.

The Cellar

French Oak, Italian Bottling

The wines age in French oak barrels we choose ourselves, in a cellar we built room by room. Bottling happens here on an Italian line we run a few weeks a year. An antique Texas tasting bar sits in the bottling room — a small reminder that none of this is industrial.

Our Philosophy

Small on Purpose

Every bottle is small-production by design. We’d rather make a few thousand cases of wine we’re proud of than a hundred thousand cases of something forgettable.
