Free State - Our Lavaca County Red and White Wines
In the late 1800s, the fiercely independent and unrestrained spirit of her people earned this Texas county the
nickname The Free State of Lavaca.  Residents of the Lavaca Free State were hardy, brash, and resistant to
convention.  So it is with our wine.  Our red wine is crafted from a blend of American, European and hybrid varietals
grown in an environment as challenging to grapes as it was to the forces seeking to subdue this frontier
community.  Vineyards are still a rarity in this area, so batches are small, and the wine precious.  The assertive
character of this Lavaca County wine is tempered in our oak barrels before being released as the unique and
brilliant essence of this fascinating place.  Our Red is the dry, bold product of our own vineyard.  Our White is
made from Blanc Du Bois grapes grown within 12 miles of us.  It is sweet and fruity and very popular.

Our Courthouse line of wines
Hallettsville’s most iconic landmark is the magnificent Lavaca County courthouse,  located on the town square one
block northwest of the intersection of US Highways 90-A and 77.  Completed in 1899, she exudes the history and
traditions of the people of this part of Texas.
Our most popular product is our Courthouse line of wines, featuring a Texas Sangiovese, Chardonnay, and Blush,
crafted as a humble tribute to the proud structure, and to the people she serves.

Vanilla Mead -
Mead, or honey wine, is the ancestor of all fermented beverages -- it was reportedly enjoyed by the ancient
Egyptians.  Today, Mead continues to be commercially produced in parts of Europe (in the Czech Republic it is
called "Medovina").  We created our sweet Vanilla Mead from Texas Wildflower honey, which we then infused with
Madagascar Vanilla Beans.  The label bears the image of our winery doors... and Cupcake, our daughter's cat.

Sweet Lucy
Darcy's beloved Aunt Lucy loves the simple pleasures in life -- wine, family and friends.  This year, we got 1,500
pounds of "Favorite" grapes from a lovely vineyard just north of Flatonia.  We've crafted a fruity, sweet red wine
deserving of the name "Sweet Lucy."

Mango Habanero and Blackberry Jalapeno
These are truly unique wines!  Both with the tang of fruit and the subtle bite of pepper.  You have to taste them to
believe how good they are!

Loquat Blush
A seasonal wine that captures the fruity taste of the Loquat fruit!

Courthouse Red
a Cabernet Shiraz blend that is semi sweet and very popular!
