Understanding the Texas Terroir: The Foundation of Lone Star Wines

If you want to truly understand Texas wine, you have to start with the land—its terroir. Terroir is the combination of soil, climate, elevation, and geography that influences how grapes grow and, ultimately, how a wine tastes. In Texas, terroir is as big and bold as the state itself. With more than 8 million acres of land suitable for vineyards and eight recognized American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), Texas offers an astonishing range of microclimates and growing conditions.
