From Claire Richardson, Winemaker
A fresher take on this classic variety from Uplift, the 2025 Roussanne bursts with citrus, white flowers, and a lot of energy. High acidity, complemented by a rounded mouthfeel, brings the palate alive. Notes of pear, quince, and a subtle mineral edge carry through a clean, persistent finish.
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
Fermented and aged 6 months in concrete egg, 5% new French oak barrel, and 40% clay amphora.
Food Pairing
Sea bass with olive oil and citrus-herb 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.
