Hey Members: Dry Riesling is Here!
We are extending the member introduction of the 2021 Riesling for one more week! If you missed it last week, you definitely need to stop in this week to check it out! What a great way to beat the heat! Get your bottle today in the Tasting Room or Curbside! Unfortunately, it is too hot to ship wine, but we can take your orders and ship when it gets cooler if you want to get in on the introductory specials!
Riesling is a Rhine varietal that has found a home in Texas. Our Riesling is managed by the Burch Family Vineyards in Friona, Texas. We express our Riesling as a dry-style wine with distinctive floral notes and tastes of rich tropical fruit, apricot, and citrus on the finish.
