Post Familie Winery, founded by Jacob Post in the 1880s remains one of the most prominent wineries in Arkansas and is one of the leading 100 wineries in the US. The vineyard, which is located in Altus, is the second leading winery in terms of output in Arkansas (first in output according to their company website). The vineyard grows the native Muscadine fruit for fermenting among carrying traditional wines such as merlots, chardonnays, and even produces high quality non-alcoholic juices.
