Grape Varietals
Los Pinos produces wine from varietals grown in our vineyards and from other friends vineyards in West Texas, and sometimes throughout the Western United States.
Varietals we grow here at Los Pinos are Blanc du Bois, Cynthiana, Black Spanish (aka. Lenoir), Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, and Champanel. Grape Fact: One acre of land can average 5 tons of grapes. (10,000 lbs.)
Harvest time at Los Pinos usually begins the end of July with our white wine grapes. Red wine grapes are harvested in mid-August followed by the arrival of grapes from West Texas. We harvest by hand and transfer the grapes to refrigerated rooms before crush.
This whole process can last until the end of October for grapes from the West Coast. We make a party out of harvest and invite lucky customers to take part in the festivities.
