2025 Harvest Report

The quality of fruit we are getting from the Texas Hill Country is above average this year. The Tannat from our estate Camledge Vineyard looks outstanding. We also received some beautiful Malbec from Ranch Rose Vineyard outside of Comfort. We anticipate receiving Tannat, Petite Sirah, and Charbono from Tallent Vineyards over the next few weeks.

From the Texas High Plains, we recently received certified organic Cabernet Sauvignon from Y Knot Vineyards that will make a lively sparkling rosé. The clusters were clean and beautiful. We look forward to receiving more fruit from Y Knot Vineyards for red wines. We look forward to more certified organic fruit from Desert Willow Vineyards, too.

We’re anticipating high-quality harvests from Newsom Vineyards, Friesen Vineyards, and others. Some of the ripening has stalled out with recent rains in the High Plains, but we don’t mind the lull in fruit arrivals as there are plenty of wines in progress with fermentations and wines ready to press out and barrel down.
