Texas Roots - Texas Republic Tempranillo

When a devastating phylloxera epidemic threatened to destroy the vineyards of Europe, Texas horticulturist T.V. Munson provided the solution. By introducing hardy Texas rootstock that was grafted to French wines, his research helped save the global wine industry and forever linked Texas soil to Old World tradition. Munson’s work laid the foundation for modern Texas winemaking, proving that innovation and resilience grow deep in this land.

This Tempranillo honors that legacy — bold yet refined, with rich fruit, balanced structure, and enduring character. Rooted in tradition and shaped by Texas spirit, it is a wine that bridges continents and celebrates the man who helped wine endure.
