Pedernales Cellars

The Kuhlken family has farmed this stretch of Texas Hill Country for six generations. When Larry and Jeanine Kuhlken's children David and Julie launched Pedernales Cellars in 2005, they built around what the land actually produces: Tempranillo and Viognier, grown where the Pedernales River cuts through limestone country. The name itself traces to that geology — *pedernales* means flint in Spanish, and a flint arrowhead turned up in the vineyard to prove the point.
