Cabernet Sauvignon

Often synonymous Bordeaux wine blends and the Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon is found worldwide – in no small part due to its prized combination of black fruit aromas, structural tannins, and fresh acidity.

This is one of the most famous red wine grape varieties on Earth. Cabernet Sauvignon is rivaled only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir.

From its origins in Bordeaux, it has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many top New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo valley.
