Fess Parker Viognier Rodney'S Vineyard Santa Barbara County 750 ML

Honeysuckle, orange blossoms, lemongrass and the twinge of melon show on the complex but not overly ripe nose of this bottling from the Parker family's estate vineyard. The high-acid palate offers lemon peel and wild-lime flavors that make it the perfect pairing for Thai food.\n \n Producer Information\n \n Fess Parker Winery & Vineyards is a Californian wine producer in Santa Barbara County. It specializes in estate-grown Syrah, Riesling and Viognier. In addition Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines come from vineyards in the Sta Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley. The winery was founded in 1989 after actor Fess Parker (Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone) bought a ranch near Los Olivos in the Santa Ynez Valley. Seeing the potential of Santa Barbara County as a premier viticultural area, he began planting what have become renowned vineyards. The business remains family-owned and there are now 110 acres (44.5ha) of estate vineyards. The winery is a notable stop on the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. Several other brands are under the same family ownership. Epiphany Cellars is a range of Rhône-styled wines, made mainly from fruit from the Home Ranch. The Addendum label is used for limited release Bordeaux varietal wines made in partnership with top Napa growers. Fesstivity is a collection of traditional method sparkling wines made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown at the Parker West Vineyard in the Sta Rita Hills.
