Arpad Haraszthy

Arpad later claimed that Mészáros helped his father obtain cuttings of Zinfandel.

Two years later, he went north to Épernay in Champagne, where he studied Champagne-making in the house of De Venoge.

Embracing more than 800 acres of foothill land in Yolo County at the eastern edge of the Sacramento Valley, the Orleans Vineyard was planted to Johannisberg Riesling, Zinfandel, Feher Szagos, Early Madeleine, Folle Blanche, Burger, West’s White Prolific (also known as French Colombard), and Black Burgundy grapes.

Agoston Haraszthy was then in the process of transferring vines and vine cuttings from Crystal Springs to his new Sonoma property, which he called Buena Vista (now the Buena Vista Winery).

Arpad Haraszthy planted Zinfandel grape vines in his vineyards and frequently used Zinfandel grapes in the production of his wines, both still and sparkling.
