Behold…great
Mason County fruit and wine! This “little secret” place in the Texas Hill
Country AVA can grow some incredible high-quality grapes. With the right care
and attention, Touriga Nacional (a Portuguese grape) can produce some fine dry
red wine. This 2016 release by Robert
Clay Vineyards is still holding up nicely. You will notice light floral aromas on
the nose with that initial pour. After taking a sip or two, blueberry and plum
notes envelope your senses. The acids are bright, and the tannins are still
holding firm. It is amazing what these tiny,
packed clusters of grapes can produce! With the right cultivation practices and
patience, this bold rich red wine could be the next rising star for Texas
wines. Cheers to an amazing bottle of wine!
