Crafted by McPherson Cellars in the heart of the Texas High Plains, the EVS (Experimental Vineyard Series) Rosé represents the pioneering spirit of Texas winemaking. Founded by Kim McPherson—whose father, Clinton 'Doc' McPherson, was a founding father of the modern Texas wine industry—the winery thrives in the high-altitude, semi-arid climate of Lubbock. The EVS line is dedicated to exploring how specific grape varieties, particularly those of Mediterranean origin, adapt to the unique sandy loam soils and intense sun of the High Plains. This dry rosé is celebrated for its vibrant acidity, bright red fruit profile, and refreshing minerality, showcasing the incredible potential of Texas terroir to produce world-class, southern French-style pink wines.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Established in 2000 by winemaker Kim McPherson and opened within a converted 1930s Coca-Cola bottling plant in Lubbock's Depot District in 2008, McPherson Cellars honors the pioneering legacy of Dr. Clinton 'Doc' McPherson, a founding father of modern Texas viticulture. Sourcing fruit almost entirely from the wind-swept Texas High Plains AVA, the estate champions warm-climate cultivars uniquely adapted to the region's semi-arid, continental climate, sandy clay loam soils, and high elevations above 3,000 feet. Diurnal shifts preserve vibrant natural acidity, counteracting intense summer heat. Embracing a philosophy of planting to the land rather than mimicking Burgundian or Bordeaux archetypes, McPherson focuses predominantly on Rhône, Iberian, and Mediterranean varieties. Vinified primarily in stainless steel with judicious oak contact, benchmark white and rosé bottlings like The Queen Viognier, Reserve Roussanne, Picpoul Blanc, and Les Copains White deliver crisp minerality, balanced ripeness, and distinctive regional authenticity.
