Araujo

Araujo Estate is a 38-acre vineyard in northeast Napa Valley, now called Eisele Vineyard . It was established in 1990 when Bart and Daphne Araujo bought the historic vineyard from Milt and Barbara Eisele, who planted the vines in the 1960s. The estate was an early leader in organic and sustainable winemaking and has been farmed organically since 1998 and biodynamically since 2000. The Araujos’ commitment to sustainable winemaking is yet another accolade for the vineyard, which has been regarded as one of valley’s great vineyards 50 years. The Araujos completed many renovation projects after they acquired the estate, and planted such varietals as Petit Verdot, Syrah, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. The estate’s signature wine is its highly regarded Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2013 the Araujos sold the estate to the owners of Château Latour.
