Happy International Cabernet Day ! 🍇
Cabernet has never been anchored to a single terroir. Born in the damp soils of Bordeaux, this legendary grape family went on to conquer the w**e world, defining iconic reds from Napa Valley and Chile’s Maipo Valley to Stellenbosch, Coonawarra, Margaret River, and the hills of Tuscany.
At its core are two distinct yet deeply intertw**ed grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering intense blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar, and muscular, structured tannins; and its parent grape, Cabernet Franc, offering a lighter, earlier-ripening profile packed with bright red fruit, violet florals, and signature herbal green pepper notes.
Whether bottled as single-varietal expressions or blended into seamless, age-worthy classics, these two grapes remain the undisputed backbone of world-class red w**emaking.
