Camp Lucy Wines

Our Wines

CAMP LUCY ROSÉ

Malbec & Mourvèdre Blush. A rare and adventurous expression—sparkling rosé from Mourvèdre, a grape typically reserved for robust reds.

Tasting Notes: Crisp, aromatic, with strawberry and hints of violet

Vineyard Character: Late-budding Mourvèdre thrives on our limestone soils, developing the spicy, earthy depth that makes this rosé anything but ordinary

Perfect Pairing at Tillie’s:

  • Crab Cake with apple gastrique and Thai peanut sauce—the rosé’s fruit-forward acidity cuts through richness while its subtle sweetness complements the apple notes
  • Brussels Sprouts with lemongrass chili jam—effervescent, strawberry-kissed notes soothe the heat and refresh the palate

CAMP LUCY MONTEPULCIANO

This Italian red grape, famous in Abruzzo, is a rarity in Texas—making our Montepulciano plantings particularly special.

Tasting Notes: Dark red plums, oregano, sage, hints of cocoa powder

Vineyard Character: Generous body, moderate tannins, savory herbal complexity with the warmth of Texas sun

Perfect Pairing at Tillie’s:

  • Eggplant Parmesan—layers of tender eggplant, rich tomato sauce, and melted cheese. The wine’s sage and oregano nuances mirror the herbs while bright acidity cuts through the richness
  • Texas Pork Chop—plum and spice notes complement smoky char and chipotle jus

CAMP LUCY MOURVÈDRE

This Southern Rhône grape loves our heat and limestone, developing the earthy complexity and peppery spice that makes it shine as a red wine and in our sparkling rosé.

Tasting Notes: Medium to full-bodied, blackberry, plum, leather, dried herbs, peppery spice

Vineyard Character: Late-budding to avoid frost, thriving through our long growing season with firm tannic backbone

Perfect Pairing at Tillie’s:

  • Oak Fired Short Rib with whipped potatoes and black cherry demi-glace—the wine’s tannins and earthy depth cut through succulent beef

CAMP LUCY MALBEC

French-born, Argentine-famous, Texas-perfected. Our Malbec showcases why this grape has become a Hill Country favorite—balancing generous fruit with structure

Tasting Notes: Deep color, juicy plum, dark cherry, hints of tobacco and cocoa

Vineyard Character: Aged 24+ months in medium-toasted American oak, hand-harvested, whole-berry fermentation creating velvety texture with moderate tannins

Perfect Pairing at Tillie’s:

  • Petit Filet with gorgonzola sage butter—fruity depth and gentle tannins tame pungent blue cheese

CAMP LUCY PETIT VERDOT

Petit Verdot rarely ripens in cooler climates—but Texas’s long growing season allows us to showcase it as a single varietal.

Tasting Notes: Violet florality, dense blackberry, cedar, tart cranberry, high tannin

Vineyard Character: Deep purple hue, perfumed bouquet (violet, lavender), bold structure that evolves beautifully with time

Perfect Pairing at Tillie’s:

  • Petit Filet with purple Peruvian mashed potatoes, haricots verts, gorgonzola-sage butter, and fig demi-glace—this is the pairing for our biggest wine. Robust tannins cleanse the palate against rich steak and pungent gorgonzola.
