Intensive planning has resulted in a boutique winery equipped for the artistic and efficient production of Solaro Estate’s wines. After extensive research of equipment options and working with manufactures representatives in Milano and Brescia, the decision was made to combine the family’s wine making heritage with the most ultra-modern equipment and the finest technology which include Italian De-stemming and Crushing machinery, Propylene Glycol temperature controlling equipment and custom fabricated fermentation and storage vessels specifically designed to maximize the production of limited quantities of complex and exquisite wines.

The Winery
“The creation of the finest wines is a true marriage of science and art.”

The newly constructed wine making facility is strategically situated on the highest elevation of the expansive Estate overlooking the Vineyards and Pavilion. The facility is built adjacent to the vineyard allowing for rapid transport of the handpicked grapes to the Destemmer-Crusher which is done in the coolness of night to prevent spoilage and maintain purity. After a gentle destemming process the must is quickly transferred into the waiting temperature controlled tanks and select oak barrels for the fermentation and aging process.

 

Oak barrel aging at Solaro Estate takes place inside specially designed barrel storage units where the temperature is maintained within 1.5 degrees.  Constant temperature control from harvest to bottling is one of many critical factors.

 

Solaro’s committment to scientific and artistic detail has brought central Texas to the stage of world class wines which contribute to Solaro’s far superior wines.
