2026 TEXSOM International Wine Awards

Our 2025 Late Harvest Riesling earned Gold at the 2026 TEXSOM International Wine Competition, one of the most respected wine competitions in North America.

Late harvest grapes concentrate on the vine longer than typical harvest windows, producing a richer fruit profile and natural sweetness. This wine opens with aromas of guava, honeysuckle, and floral notes, with flavors of tropical fruit and white peach. Soft and delicate on the finish.

The result of close collaboration between Thomas Moreno, our vineyard manager, and Blake, our head winemaker — from canopy management and harvest timing through fermentation and aging.

The relationship between vineyard and cellar is not a handoff — it is a conversation that runs through every growing season.
— Thomas Moreno, Vineyard Manager

Serve as an aperitif or with dessert.

This recognition belongs to every person on our team. From the vineyard to the cellar to the tasting room, the care and collaboration that defines Bel Lago shows up in every bottle — from soil to glass.
