A brief history
Ed and Susan Auler, a generational cattle ranching family, took a trip to France to research a French breed of cattle to potentially cross with their Angus herd in the Hill Country. During their trip, the Aulers toured French wineries and discovered a passion for French wine and viticulture. Upon their return home, they realized their future of growing vines in the Texas Hill Country and planted a test plot that grew from a small 1/4 acre to 7 1/2 acres. They knew they were onto something special because the Texas terroir shares similar growing conditions with renowned wine regions like France, Italy, and Spain.
