The Vineyard

AVA: Texas High Plains

Owned by Barbara Paddack and Andy and Lauren Timmons, who also own the 18 acres of Timmons Estate Vineyard in the same County. The over 100 acres of vines at La Pradera are planted on a special soil combination: calcareous, organic, Amarillo sandy loam soil over limestone. Both sites are dedicated to grapes that can grow sustainably in the semi-arid conditions of the Texas High Plains.
