Three collections. Two wine countries, Texas and South Africa’s Cape, poured side by side. One reason every bottle leaves the cellar marked with the rhino.
High Plains clay and Cape granite, nine thousand miles apart, meet on one tasting bar in Fredericksburg. On both sides, we partner with producers known for sustainable practices. Pour them side by side and the difference is the fun.
Our estate sits on fifty-five acres in Fredericksburg, bordered by the Pedernales River and a meandering creek, an hour and fifteen minutes from Austin. The High Plains vineyards we partner with sit on red clay and caliche at altitude, where hot days give way to cool nights and the fruit keeps its brightness.
Picpoul Blanc, Viognier, Albariño, Sangiovese and Mourvèdre all read like Texas first and varietal second.
Our Stellenbosch partners farm decomposed granite at the foot of the Helderberg, where the Atlantic exhales each afternoon and the Cabernets come out structured but unburned. Up the coast at Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, fog and elevation give us a Pinot Noir closer to the Côte de Beaune than to anything North American.
The Western Cape and the Coastal Region supply most of the Crash Collection. Every Cape bottle comes from rhino country.
From the reserve bottle you save for an anniversary to the one you open on a Tuesday, all three are tied to the same work. A portion of every bottle funds rhino conservation.
The top of the cellar. Ultra-premium and limited.
Keras Collection is the pinnacle of exclusivity and craftsmanship. Keras, meaning “horn,” symbolizes the immense strength and resilience of the rhino. These ultra-premium, limited-production wines embody that same power and quality. Sourced through deep, high-end partnerships with world-class producers, the Keras Collection offers a profound depth of character, complexity, and Cape terroir, reserved for the most dedicated supporters of our mission.
South Africa
’22Cabernet Sauvignon
A big and bold New World style Cabernet. On the nose, toasty oak mingles with black raspberry, cassis, and a hint of smoked meat. Very full on the palate, the aromas are joined with flavors of bitter chocolate, cigar box, and mint.

Bright and finely focused, the 2024 Keras Collection Pinot Noir opens with vibrant aromas of fresh cherry, cranberry and pomegranate.

Dry and beautifully balanced, it finishes with freshness, elegance and impressive length.

The 2025 Texas Viognier opens with an exuberant and highly expressive nose, immediately showcasing the variety’s aromatic potential in the Texas High Plains.

’23Grenache, Mourvèdre
This Mourvèdre blend from the Texas High Plains is a luscious, fruit-forward expression with irresistible jammy charm. On the nose, it brims with ripe Concord grape and sun-warmed blackberry, giving it a nostalgic richness—like berry preserves just off the stove.

A group of rhinos is called a crash, and these are the bottles for when your own group shows up. A sweet rosé, a sparkling rosé, a Cape Shiraz for whatever’s on the grill. Keep a few on hand for a weeknight dinner or a slow evening on the porch. Nobody needs a reason to open one.
South Africa
’24Chardonnay
Fresh and finely delineated, the nose opens with ripe pear and delicate tangerine, complemented by a subtle creamy, green nuance reminiscent of fresh-cut melon.
South Africa
’24Shiraz
Savory and aromatic, the nose opens with notes of baked clay and eucalyptus, layered with lifted violet florals and ripe mulberry. The palate is medium-bodied and structured, showing dark red berry fruit supported by a subtle smoky character reminiscent of Texas brisket, alongside hints of spice. Fine tannins and balanced acidity carry through to a composed, persistent finish with a gently savory edge.
Texas
’25Petite Sirah
Deeply colored and expressive, the nose opens with rich aromas of boysenberry and black cherry compote, layered with hints of dried sage and cocoa powder. The palate is generous yet structured, revealing concentrated dark fruit flavors of Black Amber plum and ripe black cherry, complemented by subtle notes of toffee and baking spice. Firm but polished tannins provide structure, while balanced acidity carries the wine through a long, satisfying finish marked by both richness and freshness.
Our estate vineyard shares its ground with the Rhino Preserve, where Blake lives. The 2025 vintage is the first wine made entirely from that ground. It releases late winter or early spring 2027 as the Rhino Reserve Annual Allocation, three estate bottles for Conservation Circle members only.
A refined, velvet expression of our home soil.
Vibrant, elegant, deeply rooted in our terroir.
A bold, signature blend of Sangiovese and Tempranillo.

Join the Conservation CircleThe scores and medals behind the cellar, starting with the bottle you can open tonight, and three writers who came for the rhino and stayed for the glass.
100% Texas High Plains, and still on the shelf, so the score and the bottle are the same wine.
Scored on the 2024. The 2025 vintage is pouring now.
The wines could surely draw visitors on their own, particularly if sipped during the golden hour.
Few wineries are blending wine and wildlife like Craig Stevens and his wife, Chesney Castleberry.
It may be the rhino conservation or the premium wine that draws you to Rhinory. Expect to be impressed by both.
The best introduction to these bottles is across our tasting bar in Fredericksburg, with the Rhino Preserve through the window. The next best is pulling a cork at home.
