Cabernet Sauvignon

Of all the noble grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon takes the crown when it comes to red wines. It’s the world’s most popular and widely planted variety, adored for its sumptuous fruitiness and flexibility with both growing conditions and ageing potential. Making great red wines on its own, Cabernet Sauvignon is also commonly found in blends, particularly from Chile and France. Heard of the term Claret? This refers to the great and sophisticated red wines from Bordeaux, often made with Cabernet Sauvignon, or Merlot, or both together.
