The Vineyard
Vineyards: Lahey Vineyard, La Pradera Vineyard, Farmhouse Vineyard, Bingham Family Vineyard
AVA: Texas High Plains
Mostly sourced from Lahey Vineyards and neighboring vineyards in Terry County, which is considered the grape capital of Texas due to its high concentration of acres under vine. Reddish sandy loam soils, flat land affected by strong winds, and elevation all define this area, creating wines with a specific sense of place that can truly be tasted. Each vineyard there differs due to varying depths of sandy soil to limestone that runs beneath the topsoils.
