Winemaking The BBQ Red emerges from a simple yet powerful idea: create a genuine Texas wine specifically made to complement our state's diverse and bold cuisine. Dave Reilly combines Sangiovese, Dolcetto, Montepulciano, and Tempranillo grown on the Texas High Plains, exemplifying Duchman's commitment to crafting genuine food wines. Each variety is vinified separately to preserve its distinct character before blending them into a harmonious ensemble that pairs with our regional flavors. This thoughtful approach creates a wine with notes of stewed red fruit, maraschino cherry aromatics, and distinctive dried cranberry flavors. Light, fresh and bright, with roundness of fruit balancing subtle spice, BBQ Red delivers versatility for Texas dining. From slow-smoked brisket to spicy Tex-Mex, this balanced, food-friendly wine enhances the dining experience without overwhelming it, cementing Duchman's reputation for authentic wines that celebrate Texas food culture.
