AVA: Texas High Plains

This 20-acre plot in Terry County was planted in 2015 by Tony and Madonna Phillips, who were 3rd-generation cotton farmers before expanding into wine grapes. The Phillips' growing philosophy includes touching every grape to learn from thriving vines on their carefully selected spot on top of the hill. We've worked with both their Sangiovese and Touriga Nacional varieties.
