All the best Texas wines are found in the Hill Country. And among those, the best of the best are located near the Full Moon Inn. Although California receives the most recognition for wine production in the United States, Spanish missionaries began producing wine in Texas around the 1700s — almost a century before California vineyards were established. In fact, over half on the species of grape worldwide are grown in Texas. German and Italian immigrants are credited with starting Texas winemaking. When a blight struck over six million acres of European vineyards rootstock resistant to the disease was sent from Texas and grafted to the European varieties. Wineries in Texas suffered their own setback as a result of the Prohibition passed by the 18th Amendment in 1919. The wine drought lasted until 1935 with repeal of the Prohibition.
Here at Slate Theory winery we take pride in our uniqueness. This pride extends from our uncommon, artistic styling, to our impressive underground cellar, and includes our one of a kind wine making philosophy. We use %100 Texas, high quality fruit from our Estate Vineyards and reputable growers. Experimentation with this fruit in smaller quantities allows us to find the perfect balance between tannins, acidity, and alcohol. We then choose the best wines with the best expression of terroir and unique regional quality to put behind one of our in house, artist-driven labels. Our goal is to use our wine, and artistic style, to engage all of your senses, as well as your mind. For it is in the mind that all things exist.
