Adega Vinho

Estate Mourvèdre

This Mourvèdre from Bilger Family Vineyards in the Texas Hill Country, is sourced from vines grown on sandy, limestone soils. Red-toned fruits transition seamlessly into cool, limestone-driven minerality, with layers of espresso bean, charcuterie, and bright citrus notes of blood orange and grapefruit zest. A totally pleasing red, it strikes a perfect balance of richness and freshness, making it an excellent choice for pairing with smoked brisket or chicken dishes.

Estate Tempranillo

The 2020 Adega Vinho Estate Bilger Family Vineyards Tempranillo from Texas Hill Country is a medium-bodied red that opens with vibrant blue fruit and violet aromas, complemented by wonderful sweet spices and espresso bean notes. The fine-grained tannins provide good structure, leading to a long finish marked by savory herbs and mineral richness.

2022

Adega Vinho

Branca Estate Reserve

This blend of Arinto and Alvarinho, two Portuguese varieties, is sourced from the limestone, clay, and sandy soils of Bilger Family Estate Vineyard in Stonewall, TX. Barrel-fermented and aged in oak for seven months, it offers a vibrant and well-rounded profile. Bright citrus fruit notes, including lemon oil, are complemented by apricot, pear, and a subtle touch of nougat. Medium-bodied, this white delivers a refreshing and lengthy finish, balancing richness with a lively energy.

Adega Vinho

Chardonnay

This Chardonnay, sourced from the Texas Hill Vineyard in Blanco County within the Texas Hill Country AVA, is a standout expression of the variety. It shines with bright lemon oil character, honey-laced wildflowers, and a subtle kiss of vanilla, all elegantly intertwined with cedarwood notes that add depth to its medium-bodied profile. Beneath its rich layers lies a firm backbone of racy, spicy acidity that builds with intensity. The finish is long and memorable, marked by nuances of cardamom cream and candied lemon peel.

2023

Adega Vinho

Dell Valley Vineyards, Sauvignon Blanc

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc from Dell Valley Vineyard in Hudspeth County is a testament to its unique terroir, with grapes grown in ancient riverbed soils under the shadow of Guadalupe Peak. Hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed, the wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel. Light- to medium-bodied, it offers ripe lemon and apricot notes, complemented by a hint of Texas prairie grass. The palate is bright and focused, leading to a refreshing, long finish with a pronounced limestone mineral backbone.
