Cabernet Sauvignon Wines

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most widely planted and recognized red grape varieties in the world. It produces full-bodied wines with high tannins and flavors of dark fruit, cassis, and often a hint of tobacco or cedar. The ABV for Cabernet Sauvignon wines typically ranges from 13.5-15%. Its popularity is due to its structure, complexity, and aging potential, making it a benchmark for high-quality red wines.

Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, Cabernet Sauvignon has become a global grape, thriving in diverse climates and soils. Regions such as Napa Valley, Chile, Australia, and South Africa have gained acclaim for their expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon. The grape's ability to produce wines with depth, power, and elegance, along with its versatility in blending, ensures its continued dominance in the wine world. Its strong tannic structure and rich flavors make it a perfect match for hearty dishes and long-term cellaring.
