Cabernet Franc Wines
Cabernet Franc is a red grape variety that is often used in blends but is also celebrated as a varietal wine. It produces medium-bodied wines with flavors of red berries, herbs, and a distinctive peppery note. The ABV for Cabernet Franc wines generally ranges from 12-14.5%. Its popularity is due to its versatility, expressive aromatics, and the role it plays in some of the world's most famous wine blends.
Originating from the Bordeaux region, Cabernet Franc has spread to many wine regions, including the Loire Valley, Italy, and the New World. The grape's adaptability to different climates and soils allows it to produce a range of styles, from fresh and fruity to more structured and age-worthy wines. Cabernet Franc's ability to add complexity and aromatic intensity to blends, as well as its stand-alone appeal, make it a favorite among winemakers and wine enthusiasts alike.
