The Araujo Estate Wines in Calistoga in the north-east of California's Napa Valley was founded in 1990 by Bart and his wife Daphne Araujo. He acquired one of the most famous vineyards in California called Eisele Vineyard, which had already been planted in 1880. The vineyard covers almost 16 hectares. The estate building and the winery were newly built. The well-known consultant David Abreu was hired to support the construction. Among the premium wines are the red wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Besides wine, grappa, honey and olive oil are also produced.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
