The winery is located in the municipality of Randersacker (Maindreieck area) in the German wine-growing region of Franconia. The traditional family has been cultivating wine here continuously since 1673. Today, the winery is run by Bruno and Diana Arnold. Wilhelm Arnold, the grandfather who gave the farm its name, was a founding member of the Verband Fränkischer Weingüter und Selbstvermarkter (the forerunner of the Franconian VDP).

The vineyards cover ten hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Marsberg, Pfülben, Sonnenstuhl and Teufelskeller (Randersacker), as well as Kapellenberg (Eibelstadt). They are planted with the white wine varieties Silvaner (one third of the area), Müller-Thurgau, Scheurebe, Riesling, Bacchus, Pinot Blanc, Kerner, Rieslaner and Würzer, as well as with the red wine varieties Domina, Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch. The vineyards are cultivated in a natural, environmentally friendly way. This includes, among other things, cover crop with the promotion of biodiversity (species diversity) and complete renunciation of synthetic fertilisers.

The wines are marketed according to the VDP classification model in the lines estate wines, local wines and site wines with Erste Lage and Grosse Lage. They are vinified in the old vaulted cellar with slow fermentation specific to variety and vineyard. The white wines are matured in stainless steel with long storage on the fine lees. The red wines mature in oak barrels after mash fermentation. Premium wines are the dry Grosses Gewächse "Randersacker Sonnenstuhl Silvaner" and "Randersacker Pfülben Riesling". Every year, 75,000 bottles of wine are produced. The winery is a member of the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates).
