Picardan is pale straw in color and has aromas of green apple, pear and lemongrass. It is one of the rarest varietals in the world and was at risk of going extinct, until recently. In France, this varietal was used as a blending grape but, Texas grape grower, Steve Newsom, saw its potential and took a risk in 2017. He planted 4 acres of Picardan. He felt the Texas High Plains had the perfect climate to grow this varietal. It turns out he was correct. Our customers love this light bodied varietal that has flavors of apricot, peach and nectarine. International and national judges agree that Picardan is special and we have the medals to prove how good it is.

On the nose, Picardan showcases aromas of pear, saltwater taffy, and orange blossom. With a light body and light straw color, flavors of grapefruit and minerals sip blissfully on the tongue with slight effervescence, and leave the drinker wanting another taste. This light bodied wine, one of the rarest varietals in the world, leaves a clean and bright finish. It is the perfect addition to the grapes grown on the Texas High Plains. If there’s basil, lime, avocado, or garlic in the food, a bottle of Picardan should go along with it and See What Texas Tastes Like!

We love Albarino! This golden colored wine has delightful aromas of orange, red apple, papaya and honeysuckle. It is loved for its high acidity and refreshing citrus flavors. This wine has medium body with pleasant tastes of white peach, grapefruit and minals. Zippy acidity carries the wine through a long finish that makes it a perfect pair for popular foods. Pair this wine with ceviche, fish tacos and creamy pasta dishes.

The tradition of blending wines dates back many years, back to when mixed vineyards were insurance against the wrath of mother nature, and a reliable harvest was much more important than flavoring. This Montepulciano, Sagrantino and Teroldego blend is a full bodied Italian varietal powerhouse. Dark Amarena cherries, baked fruit, warming spice, and licorice on the nose give way to jammy strawberry and cranberry with thyme on the palate. When pairing with food, try charcuterie, aged meats, pasta dishes with tomato sauce, and red meats.
