Hilmy Cellars - Vineyards, Winery & Tasting Room

About Winery and Wines

On our proprerty, we abhor the unthoughtful application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and avoid those to the extent that we are able. We are not “Organic,” and will likely not strive for such designation, but we do what we think is best for the wine and for our land. The natural compost applied between the rows is turned and fermented on the property. Insects are devoured by the flock of Guinea Fowl, while another Texas vineyard menace, white tail deer, is kept at bay by a pair of Great Pyrenees. For the most part. Our approach is certainly difficult to pin down. We take from the best of what we know, attempt to learn as much as we can, from the earth as well as tradition, and simply discard whatever is left over without so much as a second thought.
