Rosé
Rosé of Mourvèdre. Mourvèdre is a late-ripening, thick-skinned grape traditionally grown in southern France and Spain. While it's often used in bold red blends, Mourvèdre also makes distinctive and characterful rosés. This rosé is made in a classic Provence style—pale in color, dry, and elegantly structured, with a focus on freshness and subtle complexity.
Juju
Juju has consistently represented one of our premier red wines. While it may vary from year to year, the objective remains constant: crafting a robust and distinctive red wine that upholds our premium quality standards. Here's to celebrating the excellence of good Juju!
Sparkling Rosé
Lively and enjoyable sparkling wine with a touch of sweetness. Perfect for relaxing on the back porch, especially during the scorching Texas summer heat. Fun Bubbly!
Sauvignon Blanc
Robin
Our take of a Bordeaux blend with the inclusion of the Petite Sirah. We sourced fruit from both the Hill Country as well as the High Plains. Our goal was to make a balanced wine by using the best fruit sourced from this vintage.
Orange Muscat
Traditional production method to halt fermentation and preserve 3% residual sugar. To maintain a touch of sweetness, the fermentation process is halted by cooling down the tank when the wine is nearly dry, retaining its natural sugars. Made entirely in stainless steel, this wine is crafted from 100% Orange Muscat grapes.
Doo-Zwa-Zo
Our Doo-Zwa-Zo is crafted from the finest two French grape varieties we sourced from the 2023 vintage. Fermented dry, it is made in a crisp, clean style with bright acidity and pleasant fruity notes. The name is a play on the phonetic pronunciation of the French “Deux Oiseaux,” meaning “Two Birds,” referring to the two traditionally French varieties that compose this wine blend.

Reserve Petit Verdot
Our winemaking team was thrilled to bring a 100 percent Petit Verdot from Oswald vineyards. Petit Verdot is one of the five main varietals in Bordeaux, and is typically only blended up to 5 percent in blends in France for color and tannin. Texas can produce an elegant yet age worthy example of the varietal. A wine for fine dining, aging in your cellar or enjoying with friends and family.
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc holds a special place as one of our winemakers' favorites. The creation of this wine in Texas poses distinctive challenges that our winemaking team ardently embraces. Our winemaker envisioned a Loire-style Cabernet Franc, ensuring a refined blend of structure, spice, and fruity nuances. Enjoy this highly awarded wine, which pairs exquisitely with meals and good company.
The Temp
THE TEMP has become a legendary favorite at Hilmy Cellars. Crafted with a Tempranillo base, each year we add new varieties to keep the blend exciting. This smooth sipper is perfect for any gathering - cheers to that!
Sangiovese
Sangiovese finds its roots in the esteemed Italian wine region of Tuscany. The name "Sangiovese" is derived from the Latin phrase "sanguis Jovis," translating to "blood of Jupiter." Our Sangiovese is from Lahey Vineyards situated in the Texas High Plains. Anticipate a flavorful, light to medium bodied wine that harmonizes well with a variety of culinary pairings.

Tejas Blanc
A Classic Rhone white blend that we believe thrives in Texas. Each grape variety contributes uniquely to this blend. Roussanne builds the backbone of the wine while the Marsanne brings bright acidity for balance.

Mourvèdre
Our Mourvèdre is sourced from Blackwater Draw vineyards outside of Brownfield Texas. This Mourvedre is usually blended into our Politics and Religion blend, but we decided to leave a small portion out so that we could show off what this single varietal could show on its own.
Reserve Montepulciano
Montepulciano originates from Abruzzo in east central Italy. It has been grown in Texas with great success much like our Veesart Vineyards Montepulciano from the 2021 vintage. Montepulciano is known to have a great cellar ageability, yet also can be very pleasant in its youth.

Politics & Relligion
Our "Politics and Religion" blend is a classic concoction that dares to mix two varieties that are not usually blended in France. Just like how we steer clear of stirring up politics and religion! Here's to hoping you enjoy the laughter and excellence in every sip!

Merlot
Our winemaker possesses a deep passion for Merlot, a grape variety that compliments Bordeaux grapes in Texas. By combining grapes from two vineyards in the High Plains, both owned by childhood friends, we aim to capture the essence of their enduring friendship through our wine blend. This creation is an authentic portrayal of Texas Merlot. 2022 Vintage: AWARDS: 2025 Bronze Medal - San Francisco Chronicle Int'l Wine Competition 2025 Gold Medal, Reserve Texas Class Champion - Houston Rodeo Uncorked Int'l Wine Competition 2024 Platinum Medal, Class Champion, Texas Class Champion - Fort Worth Rodeo Vine 2 Wine Int' Wine Competition
Penumbra
The Penumbra is our exclusive Eclipse wine release. The wine is sourced from the 100% Syrah grapes that were hand harvested from Veesart Vineyards. The grapes were gently destemmed then fermented in individual 1-ton bins. The must was punched down 3 times a day and gently pressed to not bring in any over extracted tannins. Aged 17 months in thirty percent new French oak barrels.
Albariño
Harvested later in the season, we wanted this grape to reach full maturity. Partial malolactic fermentation was used to increase the structure that Albarino naturally possesses. Fermentation at 60 degrees for a week helped this wine slowly develop aromatic components that make this wine very special.
Tempranillo
Tempranillo has become a name stay in the state of Texas for making premium wines, and ours is no exception. Our 2021 Tempranillo is a blend of hand-picked fruit from two of our premium growers in the Texas High Plains.
