His sons, Walter and Louis, eventually took over, officially naming the family winery Frei Bros. in 1903. The company was purchased by E. & J. Gallo in 1978 and remains within their holdings. Frei Brothers has maintained sustainable growing practices for over 30 years and is a certified participant of the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance. In the winery, a combination of Hungarian, French and American oak are employed for the barrel-aging process of the Frei Brothers wine portfolio.
