Texas wine is having a moment.

Wineries in the Lone Star State draw 1.7 million visitors each year, making the area the second-most visited wine region in the US, behind Napa Valley.

Some of the state’s most lauded wineries lie just outside of Austin. Today, we’re telling you about one award-winning location: William Chris Vineyards.

About the winery

William Chris Vineyards was founded in 2008, and prioritizes quality agricultural practices, sustainability, and education.

The wines

William Chris uses pre-industrial methods to process their Texas-grown grapes. Their Enchanté wine — a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot, and malbec — earned a 92-point rating from Vinepair, on a scale of 100.

Awards

Last year, William Chris Vineyards was named No. 56 in the world, marking one of just six US wineries to score in the Top 100.
