Our Vineyards
Los Pinos produces wines from grapes grown in our estate vineyards, as well as from our Timmons Vineyard site in west Texas.
There are six varietals planted on our winery property, most abundantly are Blanc Du Bois, Cynthiana, and Black Spanish.
These three varieties grow well in east Texas, as they are resistant to disease pressures that are inherent in our region, and are primarily made into our semi-sweet and sweet wines.
The other three varieties are, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere', and Champanel, that at present are mainly for disease studies with the help of the Texas Cooperative Viticulture experts.
Los Pinos estate white grapes are harvested by hand during the final week of July, and reds are normally ready mid to late August, but the actual day is dictated by the grapes.
We encourage volunteers to come help with the harvest, those who appreciate the value of each little grape's life, as well as rise early enough to arrive in the vineyard on time, 6 am! Our Chef puts out a spread after we are done with the harvest, and the wine flows too!
Our west Texas Timmons Vineyard
is planted mostly with Sangiovese, followed
by Cabernet Sauvignon, and Muscat Canelli.
The Vineyard is located in the best wine
growing region in the state, and has been
designated as the Texas High Plains AVA.
It has been discovered, that this Texas
AVA has perfect growing conditions for
Italian wine grape varietals, and we intend to
focus on Sangiovese, Muscat Canelli,
Vermentino and Dolcetto.
When the grapes are harvested, in
September and October, they are
immediately placed in refrigerated trucks,
then on to our winery in east Texas.
We believe the west Texas Vineyard over
the years will bring a finer, more elegant
edge of quality to our wines.
