 Raider wines were developed as a partnership between two icons of the Texas South Plains - Texas Tech University and Llano Estacado Winery.  A portion of the sales proceeds from Raider wines help support the Texas Tech Alumni Association and wine and grape research at Texas Tech University.

The 2005 Raider Rosé is a blend of Zinfandel, Mourvedre and Grenache.  An example of a Mediterranean style Rosé, Raider Rosé is heavier bodied than a Blush with just a touch of sweetness.  Made by our cold fermented process to lock in fruit character, this wine is best served slightly chilled.  It is great with spicy hot Southwest foods, or by the glass.
