The Story
The Grape Growers Blend Red celebrates the enduring partnerships between Duchman Family Winery and their dedicated growers who cultivate exceptional fruit on the Texas High Plains. When Drs. Lisa and Stan Duchman founded their winery in 2006, they recognized that creating world-class Texas wines would require not only Mediterranean varieties well-suited to the climate, but also relationships with growers committed to quality and terroir expression.
What distinguishes this blend is the way it showcases the diversity and character of multiple varieties grown across different vineyard sites, each bringing their unique contributions to the final wine. Carefully selected from vineyards at elevations around 3,000 feet, where sandy loam soils and significant diurnal temperature shifts create ideal growing conditions, these grapes represent the finest expression of Texas High Plains viticulture.
Winemaker Dave Reilly approaches this blend with the same thoughtful consideration he gives to Duchman's varietal wines, allowing each component to develop fully before creating a harmonious ensemble that's greater than the sum of its parts. The wine is aged to achieve perfect integration while preserving the vibrant fruit character that makes it so approachable.
Duchman's Grape Growers Blend Red stands as a tribute to the collaborative spirit at the heart of Texas winemaking. Each bottle embodies the winery's fundamental pillars: partnership, authenticity, and connection—showcasing not just the remarkable potential of Texas terroir, but the human relationships that transform that potential into exceptional wine.
