Red Grape Variety

Cabernet Sauvignon is widely regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious and versatile red grape varieties. Its aromatic profile is characterised by pronounced notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry, complemented by hints of cedarwood, tobacco, green pepper, and, with age, subtle nuances of leather and earth. The palate typically reveals firm tannins, refreshing acidity, and a well-structured body, allowing for impressive ageing potential.

This grape is most notably grown in Bordeaux, particularly in the Médoc and Graves sub-regions, as well as in California’s Napa Valley, Australia’s Coonawarra and Margaret River, and regions in Chile, South Africa, and Italy. Cabernet Sauvignon wines range from youthful and fruit-driven to complex, age-worthy expressions, often matured in oak barrels which impart vanilla and spice notes.

Classic Cabernet Sauvignon pairs exceptionally well with robust dishes such as grilled lamb, roast beef, venison, and matured hard cheeses. Its depth and structure also make it an excellent match for dishes featuring earthy flavours, such as mushroom risotto or lentil-based stews. The grape’s versatility and ability to reflect its terroir ensure its enduring appeal among wine lovers globally.
