Last night we featured our @Messina_Hof wine @Google in Austin. Great to meet many great people attending #TribFest18.
Our @Messina_Hof leadership team tasted through the portfolio to choose the best of the best. Tasting 130 wines in one sitting is a lot of fun and very educational for all who participated. A lot of really exceptional #txwine. #winerylife
Processed 50 tons of beautiful Texas grapes today @Messina_Hof. Finished off with Petit Verdot from Lahey Vineyards. Almost half way done with harvest with lots more to go. #txwine #Harvest2018
These beauties came in @Messina_Hof yesterday to be made into a 2018 #rose and a #sparklingwine Can you guess the variety of grapes? #TxWine
After all the work that goes into growing great quality Sagrantino grapes on our @Messina_Hof Estate and all the hard work to pick them, is it bad that I just want to jump in the bin and swim around in it? #winelife #deliciousgrapes
Cold settling and fermentation temperature control for over 200,000 gallons requires a large chiller unit. When you can freeze your tank in a few hours, you know the system is really working. #wine @Messina_Hof
Today @Messina_Hof crushed and pressed Blanc Du Bois from Grandview Vineyard and our Estate Vineyard. Now we begin transforming it into #wine. #TXWine
#Wine number two to go into bottle today is @Messina_Hof 2016 Paulo Merlot. The grapes in this wine are grown in two incredible Texas Merlot vineyards, Smothermon Vineyard and Hendricks Vineyard. #TXWine
First @Messina_Hof Paulo off the bottling line today is our 2016 Paulo Blend. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Sagrantino has been aging in new French/American Fusion Oak barrels for 18 months. #TXWine
