Winery · Established 2009
Perdenales Ridge Cellars
Estate Tempranillo and Mourvèdre grown on shallow limestone, fermented in concrete.
Fredericksburg, TXTexas Hill Country
We planted eleven acres in 2009 on ground three inches deep before it hits rock. Everyone told us the vines would struggle. They did — and that turned out to be the point.
What we make
Tempranillo is the backbone. Mourvèdre and Cinsault fill out the reds, and a small block of Picpoul gives us something to drink in August. Everything ferments in concrete: no new oak, no correction, no additions beyond a little sulphur at bottling.
Visiting
The tasting room is a converted hay barn with the west wall opened up. We pour seated, six at a time, because standing at a bar is a bad way to taste wine.
