Cabernet Sauvignon
A Timeless Classic with Global Appeal
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most recognised and beloved wine varieties in the world. Known for its bold flavours, deep colour, and rich tannins, it has a unique ability to reflect the character of the region where it is grown. Whether it's the warmth of Napa Valley or the structured elegance of Bordeaux, this grape brings a powerful presence to every bottle.
Despite its prominence in the industry, the grape is a relatively new variety, the product of a chance crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon blanc during the 17th century in southwestern France.
Cabernet Sauvignon has made its way to nearly every wine-producing region globally. Its thick-skinned berries produce wines with notes of blackcurrant, plum, and sometimes hints of green pepper or eucalyptus. As the wine ages, these flavours can deepen and evolve into more complex layers, with tobacco, leather, and even dark chocolate coming to the forefront.

What makes Cabernet Sauvignon so distinctive is its robust tannin structure. This gives the wine an incredible aging potential, meaning bottles can be enjoyed decades after they're produced. When young, the tannins can be quite firm, but with time, they soften, revealing a smooth and well-rounded mouthfeel. Pairing Cabernet Sauvignon with food is a joy, as its intensity complements dishes with equally strong flavours, such as grilled steak, lamb, or rich, savoury stews.
In cooler climates, the wine can have a sharper acidity and more herbal notes, while in warmer regions, the fruit shines through with ripe, lush characteristics. It’s this adaptability that has made Cabernet Sauvignon a true global traveller, thriving everywhere from California and Chile to Australia and beyond.
