Our Story

Silouan Bradford, proprietor, winemaker, and sommelier, believes that great wine comes from the symbiosis of nature and nurture. “The character of wine is defined by the character of the land and the character of the people,” he says.

At our winery, which was founded in 2016, we embrace Silouan’s philosophy through non-interventionistic winemaking methods. By allowing the character of the fruit to express itself, we create wines that reflect the unique terroir at our 1890s Texas Hill Country homestead. This homestead has a rich history in the region’s wine industry, and we are proud to carry on its legacy through our approach to winemaking.

In addition to our commitment to nature, we also honor our cultural heritage by celebrating Saint Tryphon, the patron saint of grape-growers, gardeners, hunters, and horses. His feast day on February 1st is an important occasion for us, as we offer prayers for the upcoming growing season and reflect on the importance of balance and harmony in our winemaking process.

We invite you to experience the character of our wines and the character of our people, and to discover the unique terroir that makes our winery truly special.
