Pét-Nat 2021
$ 36.00
Pét-Nat 2021 - 85% Grüner Veltliner, 15% Muscat Fleur D'Orange, Kubacak and Crooked Post Vineyards (respectively), High Plains, 2021. Native Ferment, ~5 mos aging on lees pre-disgorge. 11.75% alcohol. 150 cases.
We're sad to have lost the 2021 Malvasia Bianca to a hail storm but we couldn't not make Pét-Nat. Enter Grüner and OM. Muscat for the aromatics, and Grüner for the chalky, fruity, 'cid-y (acid) base. The new blend show cases Texas and it's broad range of fruit and stylistic expressions so well. Still as far as we know the only Grüner in the state, we consider ourselves very fortunate to be working with it and showing how great it can be, a long way from its home climate.
spu-MONTE 2021
$ 38.00
spu-MONTE 2021 - 85% Montepulciano, 8% Tempranillo, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, Mandola and Robert Clay and Salt Lick Vineyards (respectively), Hill Country, 2021. Native Ferment, hand-picked and processed by our crew, undisgorged (judiciously racked and settled). 11% alcohol. 53 cases.
We'll keep it short, but we're very invested in this wine and it invokes a lot of feelings in us. The majority of the blend, the Montepulciano, comes from a vineyard that we spent a lot of time in between Fall of '20 and Summer of '21. June '21 presented a lot of challenges for vineyard managers in the Hill Country (frequent rain). Despite the adversity, we were able to see the fruit through into glass. We're very proud of this wine and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Acqua Pazza
$ 34.00
2020 85% Malvasia Bianca and 15% Albariño, aged on lees in stainless for 1yr, refermented with pressed 2021 Marsanne clusters, Nogalero and One Elm vineyards(High Plains) and Salt Lick (Hill Country), multi-vintage ripasso, papaya, lime zest, ginger, honey, saline, HIGH ACID.
The Marsanne skins were perfectly selected for this wine. The original blend was very high acid and frankly a little simple. In tasting through the grapes on the vine at Salt Lick, we at first considered more Alba, maybe some picpoul, even Viognier.... But Marsanne was immediately the right pick. Even on the vine, it was richer and whole mouth filling and soft. The perfect grape for the process and for the wine.
Acqua Pazza. Crazy water. Crazy good.
