Panther Hills Winery was established as a licensed and bonded winery in the summer of 2004. Located in west central Oklahoma, south of Clinton, the climate and red soils of the region are well suited to grow vinifera grapes that have excellent wine potential. Panther Hills grows several varieties of grapes including pinot noir, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, riesling and specializes in shiraz. Currently, all wines are estate grown, vinted, bottled and sold through the winery’s tasting room.
Panther Hills Winery is owned and operated by Ron Wollmann and is located on the home base of his commercial farming operation, that was established in 1977, where he grows wheat, cotton, grain sorghum, cattle and some hay, as well as the grapes. Ron’s love for growing plants and raising animals, coupled with his scientific skills, make for a unique marriage of diverse endeavors that complement each other in the vineyard and in the winery. Ron’s viticulture philosophy is to keep it as natural and organic as possible and he firmly believes that this results in a superior wine having all the maximum flavor and character that the soil and climate can give. The Panther Hills tasting room is open Sundays 1 – 6pm and by appointment by calling 580-337-6982.
