OUR WINES
Locally Grown, Locally Made
At Salado Winery Company, all of our wines are produced from grapes sourced around the state of Texas, most of them from right here in Bell County.
As winemaker, my job is like that of a chef. I am focused on using locally-grown grapes, as well as, presenting wine drinkers with wines that taste great.
– June Ritterbusch, Owner

ROOTIN’ TOOTIN’
100% Sangiovese
The first wine made on the premise from grapes from our Salado vineyard. This is a sweet red wine made from Sangiovese. The first vintage was made in 2010 and it was released in August 2011. The 2011 vintage was sold starting August 2012 and was small due to the drought of 2011.
The 2012 vintage was released in February 2013, but it wasn’t sweet enough, so in August 2014 we combined the 2012 vintage with the 2013 vintage and sold the last bottle in May 2014.
The 2014 vintage was released in August 2015 and is the sweetest, most popular Rootin’ Tootin’ yet. We are especially proud of this year’s label as it features the vineyard name, vintage date 2014 and Bell County as the location!
$15.95
3 TEXANS TEMPRANILLO
100% Tempranillo

3 TEXANS MALBEC

3 TEXANS CABERNET SAUVIGNON
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
