Wine grape
varieties
that we are planting are ones adapted to warmer climates, included Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache, Viognier and Tempranillo. Some of these have already made excellent varietal or blended wines, and increased experience with them in the vineyard and winery should result in additional improvement.
The Texas South Plains is a relatively new viticultural area that has been relatively free of insect and disease problems as no indigenous grapes grow in the area. Hot summer days and cool nights. Mean rainfall of less than 20.00 inches per year. Yes, we do have hail storms and spring frosts.
There is one simple fact that all wine experts agree upon: grape
variety (or blend of varieties), is, by far, the most influential
factor determining the flavor and character of a wine.
It is at the vinous root of the matter. Oz Clarke, the UK's popular
"no-nonsense" wine writer, once enthused, "It doesn't take much to
make a wine. In fact, a grape is quite capable of doing it by
itself". 
Several other factors play an important part in honing a wine's final
character, en route from vine to bottle. The character of a wine ". .
. is determined by terroir. . . quality is largely determined by man".
Not even the most skilled wine-makers, however, can produce quality
wine from poor, unhealthy grapes.
