Legacy

Steve and Seanne Contursi love great wines, especially those from the right bank of Bordeaux. In 2007, they came across a beautiful farm house in Napa Valley surrounded by a vineyard planted to Cabernet Franc, just like some of their favorite vineyards from France. So began their journey with Arrow&Branch, first with a single bottling of Cabernet Franc, then slowly adding wines from other renowned sites from across Napa Valley. For years, Arrow&Branch wines were made at third-party shared facilities. Today, our wines will continue to be made at a shared facility, with a big difference - the Arrow&Branch Winery was designed by our team based on years of learning, and tailored to winemaking at the highest level for small artisan producers. This is the completion of Steve and Seanne's dream when they first began their wine journey.

We are excited to share this new, state-of-the-art winery facility and hospitality space with a small collective of like-minded vintners who believe in uncompromising quality. Over the years, Napa has become a gathering place for the Contursi family and they hope the new winery project will become the same for this collective of vintners and their guests. Our aim is to make this a place they are proud to call home.

The Arrow&Branch name pays homage to the Contursi Family’s leadership in the United States rare coin business and to our American heritage. Found on the reverse of most United States coinage is an eagle holding arrows and an olive branch in its talons - signifying peace and strength.

Lady Liberty Vineyard in Napa Valley is a testament to the region's rich history and its enduring commitment to viticulture. Located in the heart of Napa Valley, The Oak Knoll District is an area known for its unique climate and diverse soil types that create ideal conditions for growing a variety of grape varieties. The district itself has gained recognition for its balanced microclimate, which allows for a longer growing season and produces grapes with a harmonious balance of acidity and sugar content, resulting in wines with both structure and finesse. 

The history of Lady Liberty Vineyard is intertwined with the broader story of Napa Valley's transformation into a premier wine-producing region. This transformation began in the late 19th century when European immigrants brought viticulture to the area. However, the industry faced setbacks due to phylloxera, Prohibition, and economic challenges. Despite these obstacles, Napa Valley experienced a renaissance in the mid-20th century, with Oak Knoll playing a significant role. By embracing modern viticultural techniques while respecting traditional practices, the vineyard contributed to the resurgence of high-quality winemaking in Napa Valley. Today, Lady Liberty Vineyard is renowned for its meticulous attention to detail, sustainable practices, and commitment to producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Oak Knoll District.
