Freemark Abbey

Whether contemporary, pre-Prohibition, or late 19th century, history has always played an important part at Freemark Abbey. As one of Napa Valley’s oldest estates, how it could it not? Now, with past catching up to present in the winemaking transition, it’s important to recognize the role Ted Edwards has played since he arrived in 1980—not just as a winemaker all of that time, but also as a passionate viticulturalist and an ambassador for the Freemark brand. Since 2019 Kristy Melton is named Winemaker at the Freemark Abbey Winery.
