From Claire Richardson, Winemaker
Aromatic and vibrant, the 2025 Mourvèdre Blanc bursts with ripe strawberry, raspberry, and citrus on the nose. The palate is lively, with juicy red fruit layered over a core of salinity that drives through a long, mineral finish. A wine that feels both refreshing and deeply grounded in place.
The Vintage
Significant rainfall in some areas caused our team to stick close to the vines in the early ripening period. Harvest saw sunny, drier, more moderate temperatures that helped extend hang time.
Winemaking
Direct-press Mourvèdre went into concrete egg, and the Viognier in oak barrel for 8 months.
Food Pairing
Butter-basted scallops with shaved asparagus salad
The Vineyard
Our 55 planted acres are within the Hoover’s Valley, which runs through the Llano Uplift formation in the Texas Hill Country AVA.
Situated near the banks of the Colorado River, the alluvial soils along with the significant mineral deposits make this a truly unique growing environment. Uplift itself has four distinct soil types, with each planted variety chosen for its suitability to the ground in which it resides: sand, granite, sandy loam and clay.
