The Vineyard

Texas High Plains

Alta Loma Vineyard is a spectacular growing site in the Texas High Plains, owned and farmed by the Burran and Floyed families. Established in 2016 with fewer than 10 acres of Syrah and Sangiovese, they have since planted two more varieties that have proven sustainable in the region. Their sandy loam soil is well-drained, suited to the hardy varieties they've selected to plant.
