For over 43 years, Dan Gatlin has perfected the art of winemaking in the state of Texas.

A pioneer in Tempranillo growing, Inwood Estates Specializes in making the highest quality wines from the best Texas grapes.

"There is no such thing as soil and climate limiting Texas wine quality. As our producers grasp the science of better clones paired with farming at lower yields, it has become clear that we can achieve any quality we wish. But it takes enormous sacrifice and commitment to do so.” 
-Dan Gatlin, Winemaker
