All of the wines in this offer are boutique wines - less than 1000 cases are made and all are hand-harvested. The Vineyard at Florence has only 32 acres of grapes in Florence, Texas and does not outsource any, so all are Estate-grown and made/bottled on the property.
2010 Roma 750ml 4-Pack
Made from the Norton grape, this is Forte’s alter-ego, a purely “red fruit” wine very similar to Pinot Noir. Cherries, raspberries, and more cherries best describes Roma. Brilliant red, slightly translucent color mimic Pinot in the extreme. Texas minerality exacerbates its red fruit profile and creates its crisp, complex finish in a Fresh style.
Made from Norton grape (prominent in MO); aged for 12 months in new French oak then finished in stainless steel.
The Vineyard at Florence was founded by two women, Kris Davis and Kambrah Garland, who have been best friends for many years. They decided to pursue their dream of opening a winery while drinking wine in Tuscany, and made their dream a reality a few years later. They consulted winemaker Dan Gatlin of Inwood Estates, a pioneer in Texas wine production, and now the Vineyard at Florence produces some of the best wines that the state has to offer.
