WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kapcsándy Grand Vin Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the State Lane Vineyard in Yountville, Napa Valley. The vineyard is planted densely to promote flavor intensity. Following harvest, the wine undergoes a 20-month aging process, with 80% of the wine matured in new French oak barrels. This approach aims to develop the wine's structure, complexity, and aging potential, reflecting the winery's commitment to producing high-quality, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon.
