Red Wing Dove Vineyard
|
|
Red Wing Dove Vineyard was conceived in Plano Texas with Pinot Blanc and Shiraz vines thriving in the back yard. The small Inca dove was the inspiration for the name from the cinnamon red color underside of the wings which can be observed during flight hence the name “Red Wing Dove”. Discussing plans for retirement led to the proposition of a vineyard. Approximately eighty acres of land for the vineyard was purchased in July 2004 in Hamilton County which incidentally is the Dove Capital of Texas. The southerly slope of the land was perfect for drainage and maximum sun exposure of the vines orientated in north-south positioned rows. After installation of the road, electricity, water well, and a 40x60 metal building over more than a year; the trellis and irrigation system was designed, built, installed and the vines transferred from the backyard to their new home.
