Marta Lastowska

Warm gulf breezes surround the vines at Haak Vineyards and Winery in Santa Fe, Texas. Here, Blanc du Bois rules the roost, but Vitis vinifera grapes are a big part of the wine program at Haak Winery as well. Marta Lastowska is the winemaker and also tends to the vineyard. Her Spanish roots and Texas terroir make for very special wines, specifically the staples of Tempranillo, Madeira, and Blanc du Bois. Black Spanish (Jacquez), Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec are also part of the portfolio.

On behalf of the entire Texas Wine Lover team, we thank Haak Winery for participating in our Battle of the Texas Tempranillos 2014 and to Marta for being a judge in the competition and sitting down for the podcast interview.

David Sides owned and ran his own agriculture business for a living and is now retired and works in the vineyard full time. Austin Vineyards is the name of this venture and I for one look forward to what the future holds for David and his precious vines!

The vineyard is located on private family property in south Austin and is growing in acreage by the year. There are several varieties growing including both hybrid and Vitis vinifera grapes. Tempranillo, Viognier, Tannat, Vermentino, and Blanc du Bois are some of the predominant grapes growing on property.
