Pronounced “Blahnk-Du-Bwah”, a hybrid grape with characteristics of early ripening and importantly Pierce’s Disease resistance; making it ideal for growing in the Gulf Coast region. Blanc Du Bois originated from the grape breeding program at the Central Florida Research and Education Center. Haak Vineyards was one of the first wineries in the country to cultivate Blanc du Bois. Now with 3 acres filled with 1800 vines this wine is history in the making. And history tastes great...

Texas is leading the wine industry in production of Blanc Du
Bois with more than 150 acres in production (in 2012) in the eastern and
southeastern parts of the state and more than 20 commercial wines. Much of this success can be credited to
Raymond Haak. Grape growing started as
ahobby for him in 1969 and grew into what is today a destination for many
locals and a major tourist attraction for Santa Fe, Texas and Galveston County
on the Texas Gulf Coast. The winery
consists of more than 25,000 sq. ft., including an 1,800 sq. ft. cellar, which
is used for storing and aging wines in oak barrels. Artwork throughout the
winery is reminiscent of Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal with many angels
watching over and protecting the vines and grapes.
