The wine region of Texas
5th US producer with a Mediterranean style suited to the heat. Signature Tempranillo as red: fleshy and fruity with notes of ripe cherry, plum and sweet spices, round tannins. Also dense Tannat, spicy Mourvèdre, juicy Sangiovese, peppery Syrah. Suited aromatic whites: full Viognier (apricot, flowers), saline Vermentino, lively Albariño.
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
