Araujo Estate Wines

[7] Bart, who had come from a career in home building and mortgage banking, and Daphne, who had a background in landscape architecture, had been interested in acquiring an historical vineyard property.

Since its founding, the winery has worked with some of the best-known winemakers in the industry, including Tony Soter, Mia Klein, Françoise Peschon and consultant Michel Rolland.

[3] In 2013, Araujo Estate Wines and the Eisele Vineyard were acquired by French businessman Francois Pinault owner of Chateau Latour in Pauillac through his holding group, Artemis.

[13] The first Eisele Vineyard Cabernet vintage (2013) made under the Pinault ownership received 100 points from Robert Parker, for the first time in the history of the estate.

[3] In addition, the winery also produces a second Cabernet-based wine called Altagracia[1] as well as small quantities of estate-grown Sauvignon blanc, Syrah and Viognier.
