“One of the most common misconceptions people have is “oh, you mean a pét nat?,” and we have to explain what we mean by méthode champenoise,” says winemaker/co-proprietor Elisa Jones of Elisa Christopher Wines.

“When I married Chris, his favorite wine was sparkling – and we drink sparkling wine every week at home, so we decided we really wanted to make traditional method sparkling in Texas,” she says. Jones, a former US intelligence officer, co-founded her 43-acre (17.4 ha) Texas Hill Country winery and estate vineyard with her husband Christopher in 2022.

“I did not want to be just another winery in the Hill Country,” Jones insists. “I wanted to extend my passion for sparkling wine into making it.”
