Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon, the king of red grapes, is renowned for its bold flavours, firm tannins, and excellent ageing potential, making it a favourite among wine lovers worldwide.
Popular Cabernet Sauvignon Wines by Region
Cabernet Sauvignon originated in the Bordeaux region of France, where it is believed to be a cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Today, it is grown in many wine regions around the world, including France, the United States, Chile, Australia, South Africa, and others.
As it's grown in many different regions, the styles can vary significantly depending on factors such as climate, soil, and winemaking techniques. In Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended with other grape varietals, such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc, to create the famous Bordeaux blends. In California, Cabernet Sauvignon is often made as a varietal red wine, known for its bold and powerful flavours. In other regions, such as Chile and Australia, Cabernet Sauvignon can exhibit its own unique characteristics, often with a focus on ripe fruit flavours.

A lighter Cabernet Sauvignon might complement grilled lamb beautifully, while a more robust one can stand up to a hearty steak.
