In the ever-expanding vast arena of Texas Hill Country wineries, there is a new “estate driven” gem quickly moving to the forefront. Michael Ros Winery, a family-owned winery, is finding its mark by creating high-scoring, micro-production wines under the winemaking artistry of Tim Drake’s watchful eye.
Have you heard about the newest winery to open in the Hill Country? Michael Ros Winery opened in August and it’s a pretty impressive spot you should add to your list. The project has been in the works for a while now with vineyards planted near Fredericksburg and also in the High Plains.
Winemaking is a dirty business. Even the popular Discover Channel TV show, “Dirty Jobs,” hosted by Mike Rowe, did an episode at a winery. It takes about 120 gallons of water to produce one gallon of wine. The main uses are irrigating the grape vines and cleaning the winery and winemaking equipment. You may be surprised to learn that the solution could rest on a bed of earthworms.

A lot has changed in Fredericksburg over the last 10 years. The wine scene has exploded and award winning wines are found in some of the more well known wineries but it’s also found in up and coming wineries.
“I made a habit of asking each tasting-room attendant where I should go next, and Michael Ros was by far the most recommended. For good reason: A newer winery with a focus on sustainability, it also offers a wide range of very good bottles, including more white varietals than you typically see in Texas.” Texas Wine is Growing Up by Paula Forbes.
