Messina Hof Winery

Midnight Yell is a sweet dessert wine with full body and aromas of cocoa and butterscotch. Fruit flavors of marmalade and ripe cherries round out the senses, leaving a beautiful finish that lingers like the ever-present Spirit of Aggieland on full display at every Midnight Yell.

Our Sparkling Sagrantino offers a delightful twist on this unique grape. The bubbles soften its structured character and present notes of red plum and black tea, culminating in a crisp, clean, and refreshingly dry finish.

Sparkling Rosé is a dry sparkling wine that excites with lively flavors of fresh strawberry, pomegranate, and cranberry layered with notes of bright citrus and a crisp, delicate finish. Messina Hof's Sparkling Wines are made through the traditional method, or méthode traditionelle, which means the transformation from a still wine to a sparkling wine is done entirely inside the bottle through its secondary fermentation. Texas grapes matched with this old-world method creates a complex and delicious wine.

This vintage of Chenin Blanc is a dry white wine that is bright and airy with bold notes of lemongrass, pear, and honeysuckle. Its depth of flavor lingers on the palate giving it weight and acidity that goes beautifully with lobster, garlic butter sauces, and vegetarian dishes.

This dry white blend has delicate aromas of honeysuckle and white flowers. Crisp citrus flavors and bright acidity are complemented by smooth tropical flavors and medium body.

Our Hill Country exclusive Papa Paulo Port is a rich traditional-style port with youthful flavors of chocolate covered cherries and vanilla. The brandy fortification introduces a unique and subtle bite of cinnamon and anise. The Lenoir grapes in this exclusive Papa Paulo Port are grown in the Messina Hof Hill Country estate vineyard.

This Tempranillo has bold dark cherry and plum flavors with soft aromas of dried leaves and sandalwood from oak aging. These grapes are grown at 3700 feet elevation in the Texas High Plains and fermented on the skin for 20 days then aged in hybrid barrels for twelve months. This gives the wine a rustic and robust character that matches the Texas spirit.

A bold blend of traditional Italian varieties (Sagrantino, Sangiovese, and Primitivo), this wine has rustic nuances of herbs and spice with aromas of smoked meats. Dynamic flavors of tart cherry and stewed tomatoes complement the stronger tannins giving this wine an elegant complexity.
