The first release of wine produced from organically grown Texas grapes was produced by Caprock Winery (www.caprock.com) in Lubbock in the Texas High Plains AVA. It was a single vineyard designated wine – 2008 Caprock Vinognier, Bingham Vineyard. The grapes were from Cliff Bingham’s vineyard who is an organic farmer whose other crops, in addition to grapes, including cotton and peanuts.

Many here involved in the Texas industry say that “the best is yet to come” as we are still working out the details of the states best grape varietals and how to handle late freezes, hail and Pierce’s Disease.

We are at a point where most Texas wines are of high quality but with the goal to increase production and distribution.
