[Today's New Product] "Wine Capturing Glory from 50 Years Ago"... Ayoung FBC Unveils Stag's Leap's 'Judgment of Paris' 50th Anniversary Vintage

Launch of Three Wines, Including “S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon 2023”

Ayoung FBC is bringing three signature wines to Korea to mark the 50th anniversary of the “Judgment of Paris” by Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, a renowned winery in California's Napa Valley.

Ayoung FBC announced on Tuesday, the 27th, that it has launched three wines: S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, FAY Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, and ARTEMIS Cabernet Sauvignon 2021. They are priced at 1 million won, 800,000 won, and 400,000 won, respectively.

The most iconic of the three is S.L.V. 2023. It is a vintage produced 50 years after the 1973 S.L.V., which took first place in the red wine category at the 1976 Judgment of Paris, beating famous French wines. The label for the 2023 vintage also features a special logo commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Judgment of Paris, adding historical significance and collectible value.

Held in Paris, France, on May 24, 1976, the Judgment of Paris was a blind tasting that compared wines from France, then the center of the world's fine wine industry, with those from California, an emerging wine region in the United States. After nine French wine experts judged the wines, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars' 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon took first place in the red wine category, beating prestigious Bordeaux wines such as Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Haut-Brion.

The results helped show that California could also produce wines of the highest quality. The event is regarded as a major turning point in Napa Valley's growth into a world-renowned premium wine region. The historic 1973 Stag's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon is now preserved in the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in the United States.

FAY Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is made from another of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars' signature vineyards. While S.L.V. offers deep, intense fruit flavors and structure, FAY is distinguished by its relatively soft texture, bright fruit aromas, and delicate, elegant style.

ARTEMIS was created to let more consumers experience the appeal of fine Napa Valley wines. Made with carefully selected grapes from Napa Valley, it captures Stag's Leap's signature rich fruit flavors, soft tannins, and balanced structure. It concentrates the characteristics of premium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in a single bottle while remaining approachable, making it suitable for both wine enthusiasts and consumers trying Napa Valley wines for the first time.
