## About this wine

Perissos Vineyard & Winery was founded by Seth and Laura Martin in the Texas Hill Country, taking its name from a Greek biblical term meaning 'exceedingly abundantly, beyond what is expected.' The winery is dedicated to producing 100% Texas-grown wines, focusing on warm-climate and Mediterranean grape varieties that thrive in Texas terroirs. The fruit for this bottling comes entirely from the high-altitude One Way Vineyard located in Floyd County within the Texas High Plains AVA.

## Interesting facts

- The winery name 'Perissos' comes from a Greek biblical phrase meaning 'beyond what is imagined'.
- Grown at a high elevation of 3,130 feet in the Pullman clay loam soils of Floyd County, Texas.
- Bottle aged for a full three years prior to commercial release.

## Food pairing

The bright natural acidity and juicy dark fruit profile of Dolcetto make it an exceptionally versatile match for tomato-based pasta sauces and rich charcuterie. Medium tannins provide enough structure to slice through grilled white meats and cheeses without masking subtle savory elements.

## Wine making process

The grapes are harvested from One Way Vineyard at an elevation of 3,130 feet in Pullman clay loam soils. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in a balanced wood program of 50% French oak and 50% American oak barrels. After barrel aging, the wine undergoes an extensive bottle-conditioning period of over three years prior to its commercial release.
