Harvest has officially come to a close with the final pick of Aglianico.

It was a great year in the vineyard, with high yields and outstanding fruit quality. We’re excited to see what this vintage brings, not only in the w**es we make here at Hye Top, but also in the w**es our friends and fellow w**emakers make with our grapes.

Now that the harvest rush has settled down, it’s time to start thinking about getting the tasting room back open. We’re looking forward to pouring some w**e, sharing some conversation, and catching up with y’all again.

Hope to see you soon!

Harvest can be all hands on deck, even if those hands are small.

This year, we had one of the youngest members of the family out in the vineyard helping pick through some grapes. He carried the bucket, helped with the grapes, and got a little taste of what harvest is all about.

Harvest can be a grind, but he seemed to enjoy it. The celebratory glass of w**e will have to wait a few years, though. For now, grape juice will have to do.

Always fun to see where our fruit goes after harvest. 🍇

Here’s Buli Limestone W**es giving our Hye Top Tannat some extra attention with optical sorting before it heads into the cellar.

We can’t wait to see what they make with it!

In Texas, some of the most important work happens long before sunrise.

Crews were busy overnight bringing in a beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon crop along with an exceptional Tannat harvest. The vineyard rewarded us with healthy fruit, full bins, and plenty of reasons to be excited about this vintage.

A huge thank you to our harvest crew for their hard work, dedication, and long hours. Harvest is a true team effort, and we couldn’t do it without them.

The harvest may be behind us, but these grapes still have a long journey ahead before they become Hye Top w**es. We can’t wait to share them with you when the time is right.

Here’s to the 2026 vintage. We have a feeling it’s going to be one to remember.

Ever seen a vine that can make both red and white w**e?

Neither have we.

What you’re seeing here are called Christmas clusters. In years with especially vigorous growth, grapevines can produce a second, much smaller set of clusters after the main crop has developed.

These late-season clusters continue to mature long after harvest and, if they make it that far, typically ripen around Christmas, which is how they got their name.

No, they won’t make white w**e, but they are a fascinating reminder of the incredible growing season we’ve had.

Not your average weekend here at Hye Top Vineyards.

Thanks to a great growing season and well timed spring rains, our Roussanne ripened a little earlier than usual, and this weekend we brought in another beautiful harvest.

Now the next chapter begins as these grapes make their way from the vineyard to the w**ery. We can’t wait to watch this vintage come together and, before long, share another Texas-grown Roussanne with you.

Every bottle starts right here. Here’s to another great harvest.
