Kapcsándy Family Winery

The Kapcsándy family (pronounced “Cup-chon-dy”) purchased the State Lane Vineyard in 2000 and re-planted the entire parcel in 2001/2002 with recommendations from their 1st winemaker, Helen Turley and her husband, John Wetlaufer. The vineyard is planted to 15 separate blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, averaging 2,640 vines/acre. A new state-of-the-art wine-making facility was completed in September, 2005. The vineyard is farmed by Ilsley vineyard management. Beginning with the 2005 vintage, the lead winemaker is Denis Malbec, originally of Chateau Latour, Bordeaux. Sustainable farming is practiced, pests are controlled by birds of prey that inhabit an environment created by a wild-life expert in the field.
