Cathedral Mountain Vineyard is planted in the high desert mountains,18 miles south of Alpine, Texas. We chose this area for its relentless sun, cool nights and mineral-rich, rocky, volcanic soil conditions that are well suited to the Spanish and Rhone inspired wines we wanted to grow. We planted 7,000 vines in April of 2004. The bulk of the vines are Tempranillo and Syrah with some Grenache, Petite Sirah and Mourvedre for blending. We also have a fair amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and a bit of Cabernet Franc. The first crop will be harvested in 2006. The powerful, savory, and rich wines we expect will make the wait worthwhile. Host your upcoming party in our winery and let our space become your stage for an unforgettable, intimate evening. Reserved space is available for your own private wine tasting, wedding reception, company party, or any special event.
