Sage, mint, chocolate, blood orange, spice, and black currant-scented nose with hints of espresso, spicy oak and fruit add layers of complexity.
Palate
Well balanced and absolutely delicious. Medium-bodied with a supple mouthfeel.
Growing Conditions
We’re proud to use sustainable practices in both our vineyards and our winery. Nesting boxes, perch poles, and songbird houses attract birds of prey and other species – a natural form of pest control. We add compost to our soils to improve water circulation, and natural fertilizers to supply beneficial bacteria, photo nutrients, and trace elements. Cover crops planted between rows add nutrients, control vine growth, attract beneficial insects and prevent erosion.
Winemaking
Our inspiration to produce world-class wines blossomed after years of enjoying not only exceptional Bordeaux wines but many legendary examples from Napa Valley. From day one our dedication in crafting our wines was to rival the best of Bordeaux, and produce compelling wines of the highest caliber in every vintage. Kapcsándy wines capture a true sense of place from one of the finest terroirs in the world.
Our vineyard management and winemaking practices allow us to achieve lower-alcohol wines, without sacrificing any richness or depth. The ultimate goal is balance and longevity. Our winery was designed with the sole purpose of allowing optimum hygiene and temperature control.
Our fermentation protocols are a combination of classic savior faire and proven modern methods. We are dedicated to constantly improving our practices to achieve exceptional results with every single bottle.
