Martin Texier began making wine in 2014, after a circuitous journey through various disciplines including the study of economics and a stint in the music world as a DJ (“DJ Sans Soufre”). Following time spent learning the wine trade in NYC through internships at Flatiron Wines and Uva Wines, he returned home to follow in the footsteps of his father, renowned northern Rhône natural winemaker, Eric Texier. This grenache comes from 30+ year old vines planted mostly on granite, with bits of limestone, quartz, schist, and gneiss in there as well. Foot-crushed whole clusters saw a week of maceration in tank before pressing, followed by a brief time resting in concrete. An eminently drinkable - yet sophisticated - cherry-forward expression of grenache. Look for some dried strawberry with dark cherry/black berry base notes on a fine-tannin food-friendly treat any night of the week. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Certified organic, low-intervention/natural wine.
