The wine directors at the Four Seasons Hotels in Dallas and Austin (where it is poured by the glass), legendary Texas chef Stephan Pyles, the Dallas Morning News, Britain’s favorite wine writer Oz Clarke, and Texas’ favorite wine writer Wes Marshall all agree: Duchman Family Vermentino is just one of the wines that has made the Duchman Family Winery “one of the hottest wineries in Texas these days.”

Wes Marshall called the Duchman Family Vermentino “the best of the night” and a “real revelation” in a recent tasting of Texas wines he conducted with Oz Clarke.

Vermentino is the quintessential white grape of the Tuscan Riviera and the island of Sardinia. The Duchman Family Winery made Texas wine history when it became the first and only winery to bottle this classic, food-friendly Italian white grape.

Winemaker Notes: The 2009 Duchman Family Winery Vermentino is a white wine that offers perfumed aromas of grapefruit and slightly sweet pear on the nose. The palate offers more notes of citrus, pear, and a slight herbaceous character. This wine finishes clean and dry with refreshing acidity. Being the sole producer of Texas grown Vermentino in the state, Duchman Family Winery has received excellent response to this varietal from sommeliers and restaurateurs alike. As a refreshing alternative to Sauvignon Blanc, the 2009 is a great option for oysters, sushi, and other seafood.
