Heart of Texas Winery: Stonewall




The spirit of the Texas is one of independence and integrity. This spirit is embodied not only in each Texas town, but in each Texas winery as well.

Yum Runnerz was lucky enough to explore some of the Texas wine country this past Friday. We just picked up Pedernales Cellars and will be representing their new Stonewall line.

Right around the corner from Johnson City and just west of Fredericksburg, lies the little town of Stonewall, Texas. Although it doesn’t hold much within its bounds, Pedernales Cellars furnishes the small town. The winery describes itself as “distinctly hill country.” Making the drive out there, I’d say so.

Throughout the beautiful hills, one will find this 15-year family-run business that prides itself on skillfully working with the Texas soil and climate to provide exceptional wines. Even the tasting room presents pictures of many family members doing various things on the vineyard, such as picking grapes.

This three-generation family has recently branched off from their normal brand and created the Stonewall line, which Yum Runnerz represents.

This line includes a Viognier, which has a clean and crisp taste with notes of floral and a taste of citrus and tropical fruit also. This wine is great paired with warm goat cheese with roasted garlic and herbs.

The Stonewall Merlot is a soft, but opulent red wine with ripe blackberry, plum and vanilla flavors. The demand for this Merlot has been strong and the winery is working to meet this influx.

The Stonewall Muscat is also available as a perfect dessert wine with notes of passion fruit, grapefruit, and a light perfume. Couple this Muscat with a hazelnut crème brulee for a strong ending to any meal.

The company is also arranging to release a Tempranillo with the Stonewall line. This Spanish red wine will carry the tastes of cherries and coffee with a rich mineral finish.

Overall, if you’re looking for a Texas wine with affordable prices to add to your store, restaurant, or even your life, Yum Runnerz will connect you with this truly unique line.
