Owners Ron and Susan Krausz purchased the property on Howell Mountain, Napa Valley in 1988. With the goal of producing the best wine possible from this beautiful site, in 2008 the property became a true Domain Estate, where an underground winery along with the Estate vineyards planted in 1998 allows the owners total control over all winemaking.
Using the best of old world practices along with the newest technology, Arkenstone Winery produces the highest quality vintages - from vine to glass! The Arkenstone winemaking philosophy is based on consistency and elegance. During harvest, they use gravity to move the fruit gently from the above ground crush pad into fermenters below, while natural temperatures in the cave allow for optimal fermentations and barrel aging.
