Our Wine Tasting Expert Says:
Bell Mountain Vineyards was established in the Hill Country on 56 acres in 1976 by the Oberhelman family on a chalet-styled vineyard. Every wine is estate-bottled, and the products consist of Chardonnay, Johannesburg Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Fume Blanc, Semillon, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. Unlike other Texas wineries, Bell Mountain ages their wines a second time and the quality is reflected in the recognition the vineyard has received over the years.
From Bell Mountain Vineyards & Winery - Fredericksburg, Texas:
Located on the slopes of Bell Mountain, first identified on the U.S. Geological map of 1885, the area was designated by our Federal government in 1986 as Texas' first winegrowing area (AVA). Our Vineyards of select and classic European wine varieties are set on sandy-loam soils, replete with rich minerals, and blessed with a moderate climate thus insuring superior fruit development and wines of distinctive character.
