Parr Vineyards
Varietal: Viognier
Vintage: 2022
Country of Origin: USA
Appellation: Texas Hill Country
Retail Price: $35.99

Robert and Dilek have supplied great fruit to top Texas wineries (William & Chris and Lewis, to name just a few) and have made the transition to producing their own estate-sourced wines. Floral and fresh, with a smooth clean finish. Hints of banana and kiwi. Their 20-acre vineyard is in the heart of the newest Texas AVA: Hickory Sands (pending TTB final approval).
