Fort Stockton, Texas
Ste. Genevieve Wines
IF IT'S FROM TEXAS, it's probably popular.
Western clothes and Tex-Mex cuisine are
hot and getting hotter. Handmade cowboy
boots have shown up on the feet of Hollywood's
most notable celebrities. But the last
thing most people expected to be the next
big thing from Texas was wine. Until recently,
that is.
Ste.
Genevieve Wines are turning up on tables
all over. The largest of Texas' 54 wineries,
Ste. Genevieve is one of the fastest growing
wines in the country. Quality is the reason.
Ste. Genevieve wines hold their own in
state, national, and international competitions.
As a result, Ste. Genevieve is now among
the best selling brands in the state.
Few people realize that there was a thriving
commercial wine industry in Texas more
than a hundred years before the California
wine business began. Today, Texas is the
ninth largest wine producing state.
The majestic mesas depicted on the Ste.
Genevieve label make their own contribution
to the vineyards. Wine grapes require well-drained,
sandy soil; a soil rich in calcium is best.
Because the mesas are limestone mountains
topped with layers of sandstone, centuries
of erosion have covered the Escondido Valley
below with near perfect calcareous soil.
Ste. Genevieve offers Chardonnay, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon
Blanc, Gamay, White Zinfandel, and Red
Zinfandel, plus their special blends -
Texas Red, Texas White, and Texas Blush.
