OUR VISION

At Robert Clay Vineyards, we strive to preserve the land by utilizing innovative and natural methods. Our holistic approach involves incorporating composts, herbal teas, oils, and fermented preparations to support sustainable farming techniques that align with the natural rhythms of the environment. While we may not be certified organic, we remain dedicated to utilizing environmentally friendly methods that promote the health of our vineyards and surrounding areas.

Dan devotes particular attention to detail in his methodical approach to vineyard management and gentle, minimal intervention winemaking, authenticity, and character for his wines.

OUR WINEGROWING PHILOSOPHY

While the whole industry struggles to agree on one natural wine definition, for us, it is very straightforward: our wines are the result of working within and together with nature, rooted in making wines that reflect their place in the world, wines that are made in and from the vineyard.

We deeply believe in transparency and authenticity.

In Texas, Winemakers Find Room to Roam

"Mr. McLaughlin is now one of very few Texas growers trying to farm organically. On grassy, sandstone fields amid chickens and geese, he tends grenache, barbera, chardonnay, mourvèdre and viognier, along with other varieties.

- Eric Asimov - New York Times

Essence of the vineyard in a glass...

"Robert Clay Vineyards captures the essence of the vineyard in a glass. The 2015 Merlot expresses ripe red fruit, but is not overly fruit forward. The fresh acidity, fleshy fruit notes and integrated oak pay homage to both new and old world wine styles. A walk through the vineyard will reveal a great attention to vine balance."

- Fritz Westover - Viticulturist

Good-Natured Wines

"They strive to be pesticide-free, free of added sulfites, additive-free and use natural wild yeasts for fermentation."
