Tasting Notes
Soft rosé, apricot, clementine, and peach all appear on an incredibly enticing nose. The palate is the refreshing, totally dry, crisp ripe peach that you want it to be, with a rich texture balanced by a salty sea breeze finish. Elegant, decadent, and primed for medium-bodied dishes.

The Vineyard
La Pradera Vineyards was converted to wine grapes in 2010. Owned by the Paddacks and managed by Andy Timmons, these 100 acres of grapes in Terry County are planted to varieties that grow sustainably in Texas. In addition to their location on a raised, flat plain, these grapes thrive in a special soil content of calcareous, highly organic Amarillo sandy loam over a limestone base.
