Double Barrel Tannat

Texas Tannat

The Bending Branch Winery Double Barrel Tannat from Texas is an exceptional red wine that perfectly showcases the bold and robust character of the Tannat varietal. This full-bodied wine is a fantastic example of what Texas winemaking has to offer, presenting powerful notes of dark fruits like blackcurrant and plum, accompanied by rich undertones of tobacco and spice. Its firm tannins provide a well-structured backbone that beautifully balances the high acidity, making every sip both vibrant and mouthwatering. The double-barrel aging process imparts a nuanced complexity, adding layers of vanilla and oak to the palate. This wine is a true testament to the quality and potential of Texas as a significant winegrowing region. Enjoyable now, it also holds excellent aging potential for those who prefer their wines with further developed depth and character.

Texas, one of the most expansive winegrowing regions in the United States, spans over 800 miles from the Gulf Coast to the Panhandle Plains. The state's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) encompass a wide array of terroirs, from desert landscapes to fertile hill country. The warm, dry climate is moderated by the influence of the Gulf of Mexico, which sends moist air and occasional cooling breezes inland. This helps to temper the intense daytime heat, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop deep, complex flavors. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the higher elevations and northern parts of Texas, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail. This diverse range of conditions enables Texas to produce a wide variety of wine styles, each reflective of its unique growing regions.
