Introdution to the History of Pope Valley Winery
Pope Valley Winery was
founded in 1897 by Ed Haus. The winery is a showcase of 19th
century winemaking technology; the main building - situated on top
of the Haus Creek that meanders through the property so as to
conserve usable land - rises three stories against a hillside so as
to use gravity to move the wine from stemmer/crusher to press to
barrel. The winery is built into the hillside to create cave-like
cool temperatures and higher humidity for the bottom barrel
room.
Also on the property is the
original homestead family house, and a blacksmiths workshop with
century-old equipment inside.
We lovingly produce 5,000
cases a year of the finest wines in Napa Valley. Our wines are hand
crafted from our estate vineyards from vines that were planted as
far back 1940.
Pope Valley Winery
hand-crafts wine from the Estate, Eakle Ranch and the nearby
Meyercamp Ranch in the Pope Valley Region of Napa Valley. Pope
Valley Winery is situated above Napa Valley on the northern face of
Howell Mountain. Pope Valley Winery is noted for its Cabernet
Sauvignon Estate Reserve, Zinfandel Port, and Chenin Blanc. Other
Great wines include Eakle Ranch Cabernet, Merlot, Zinfandel and
Sangiovese.
