AVA: Texas Hill Country

In 2017 Johnny Sanchez and father-in-law Doug Wilcox planted just under 12 acres of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Tannat a stones' throw from Hye in Stonewall, Texas. The close proximity to William Chris allows for our teams to work together to help the fruit showcase the best of this special site, home to the limestone layers that run through the old Pedernales River Basin.
