family business

Building a Legacy

family owned and operated for

two Generations

Hye Top is a family business with two generations and we are looking forward to the next one joining us soon.

Going forward, our guiding principles are:

  • 100% Texas. We want this industry to grow and provide economic benefits to Texas and great wines to you.

  • A family business. We will keep Hye Top within the Murphy Family and be hands-on operators. You will have the opportunity to know the people producing your wine and for us to know you.

  • Boutique. Bigger is not always better. We will keep our boutique focused and our production limited to ensure distinctive, top quality wines.

  • Best Value. We will produce great wines at reasonable prices, so more and more people can enjoy them.

We look forward to having you visit us at Hye Top.

Wine production through a co-op

Custom Crush

If you tour Hye Top, you will see a beautiful vineyard, but not extensive wine making equipment. We team up with nearby wineries to use their equipment to keep our costs low.

The industry term is custom crush. We work with our winemaking neighbors to use their equipment and facilities. We then hire our own winemaker and assist throughout the process.

Not only does this work well for us as a boutique, high-quality operation, but it provides business for our neighbors and much lower costs to our members and customers.
