Trebbiano – one of the most commonly grown white grapes in Italy, is grown throughout the country, most notably in Tuscany.

Rose' of Counoise. Our second Provence-inspired rosé.

2022 Aglianico – Pepper Jack Vineyard – 100% Aglianico: Back in 2019, we made our first vintage of Aglianico. It was the first wine that 12 FIRES produced –bought the grapes, processed them, pitched the yeast, punched it down every day, twice a day, pressed, racked, and barreled it – really MADE the wine. It was coming along beautifully! If you’ve been with us for a while, then you probably know the unintended, but serendipitous, fate of that wine. (It became a major component of our Calaboose dessert wine, by accident.) In 2022, we finally got another stab at it! Our friends at Pepper Jack Vineyard were able to allocate two tons of Aglianico for us and we jumped on it. Rich and unexpectedly complex for a single-variety wine; I get dark berries, cigar box, and cocoa, but that’s just me. What do you taste? By the way, we know the g is silent, but we pronounce it AG-lee-yaw-nico, because we just have to

Dolcetto – A lesser-known grape variety from the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. Low acidity and mild tannins make this an easy-drinking wine that pairs nicely with pizza and hearty pasta sauces. 2022 Dolcetto – (100% Dolcetto) Pepper Jack Vineyard, Brownfield, Texas Texas High Plains A.V.A.

2022 Tempranillo – Lahey Vineyard – 100% Tempranillo: Tempranillo is THE red wine grape of Spain, and it’s got a pretty firm foothold in Texas too! It just really suits the Texas profile – bold, but not overly aggressive; rustic, but fruit-forward and a little jammy; a “noble” grape, but not uppity about it. This is our first Tempranillo offering since the 2019 vintage and the best yet, in our humble opinion. Screams for brisket and deer sausage form the grill!

2023 Colibrí: 46% Sémillon, 41% Albariño, 15% Orange Muscat. A word that means Hummingbird in many languages. We named this blend Colibri as it will have you humming sip after sip. This fascinating wine, which dances between off-dry and dry will wet your whistle and having you coming back for more!
