Estate Grown Paseante Noir and Blanc du Bois
Blanc du Bois
Blanc du Bois
Blanc du Bois is a hybrid varietal, bred by a Texan professor in the late 1960s. It was named after a French grower who came to the states in the 1880s. It is environmentally robust and easy for conscientious caretaking, growing wonderfully across the American South.
It has characteristics of crisp, acidic fresh fruit with floral aromas and flavors. Blanc du Bois can be served at room temperature or slightly chilled and pairs wonderfully with charcuterie trays, light meats and poultries.
Our inaugural vintage was a 2022 and it won a Bronze Medal in the Lone Star International Wine Competition, 2024 (and a Silver Medal for label design - hat tip to our friends at Mythic Proportions).
Paseante Noir
Paseante Noir
Paseante Noir is a hybrid varietal, a cross of Zinfadel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Vitis Arizonica, a grape native to Northern Mexico and the American Southwest.
It has notes of blackberry, Strawberry, and leather on the nose and hints of blackberry, spiced plum, and dark chocolate on the tongue. It has a medium-full body, medium-plus tannins, medium acidity, and a long, luscious finish.
Our first vines of this variety were planted in 2021. Our first harvest turned out great in 2024.
We are looking forward to harvesting double the acreage in the 2026 harvest year!
