A pleasant white wine of typical white Rhone varietals comprising Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne. All were fermented individually in stainless steel and subsequently blended. This  wine’s wine aromatics include apple, peach, and citrus with a touch of toastiness. It is enjoyed alone, or with fish, fowl, or hard cheeses.

Inspired by the exotic white Rhone Valley blends of Southern France, our flagship white wine is the perfect marriage of 45 percent Viognier, 30 percent Roussanne and 39 percent Marsanne. Sixteen percent of RLV III uses new French oak to impart a hint of vanilla; the balance ferments in stainless steel. The result is a wine with a complex bouquet of jasmine, honey, apricot and pear. Nuanced floral and tropical fruit accent the body and deliver a delightful and lingering aftertaste. Enjoy RLV III with poultry, especially grilled quail, dove and pheasant.

This beautiful rosé has been an award winner since we first introduced it. Described by Texas Monthly in 2018 as a “stunner, stunner, stunner,” The Cinsault Rosé is a 100-perent stainless steel, cold fermentation wine with only hours of skin contact to impart its faint, Provençal color. Mirroring its ethereal appearance, this lovely wine has a soft and delicately sweet taste of red raspberry and strawberry fruit with a hint of spice on the finish. Bright acidity balances the subtle fruit characteristics of this wine. Enjoy RLV Cinsault Rosé alone or with Mediterranean cuisine, classic bistro fare or creamy blue cheese and strawberries.
