Salt Lick Cellars

2015 Texas Grenache

Duchman Family Winery's Salt Lick Cellars Grenache from the 2015 vintage showcases a vibrant red color that invites exploration. Originating from the sun-kissed vineyards of Texas, this wine offers a medium-bodied experience with delightful fruit intensity, highlighted by notes of ripe strawberries and cherries. The acidity is balanced, providing a lively freshness that lifts the palate. Tannins are present yet soft, adding structure without overwhelming the wine's fruit-forward charm. With a dry profile, this Grenache pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and more refined dining occasions.

Region:

Texas

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.
