Fantesca is an estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon. This property was originally the dowry of Caroline Bale, when she married Charles Krug in 1860. Even then, it was recognized as prime mountain vineyard land. A Cabernet from this vineyard made by Hannah Weinberger won one of the first awards for a wine from the Napa Valley in 1889. Today the vineyard stretches over terraces and hills and adjoins the cave and the winery. Fantesca vineyard is located on the southeastern side of Spring Mountain, with tremendous variations in slope over just 8.6 acres of vines. The elevation and mountain terrain offer superb sun exposure and a long growing season. The unique terroir here produces a rich and intense Cabernet, true to the character of the Spring Mountain District.

Kirk and Nils Venge oversee the winemaking at Fantesca. Duane & Susan Hoff are the owners. We invite you to learn more about this fantastic boutique producer by visiting www.fantesca.com .
