Cabernet Sauvignon is the most famous of all red grape varieties and the most widely planted grape variety worldwide. The grape originated from a crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It is also known as ‘King Cab’ and originally comes from France. This grape is known for its deep, complex wines with a full body and excellent ageing potential. The typical aromas of the grape include blackcurrant, cassis and dark cherries, often complemented by notes of green bell pepper, eucalyptus, tobacco and spices. When aged in oak barrels, the wine gains extra layers of vanilla, cedarwood, smoked wood and chocolate, contributing to its complexity.
This grape thrives in different climates, but shows its best qualities in regions with many hours of sunshine and good drainage, such as Bordeaux in France and Napa Valley in California. Cab Sav is often the main grape in Bordeaux blends, where it is combined with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The grape produces tannin-rich wines with a firm structure and high acidity, giving them great ageing potential. The result is a wine that can be enjoyed young as well as after years of ageing, with the flavour evolving into softer, more complex notes. Cabernet Sauvignon wines are made all over the world, from Chile to Australia, where terroir and vinification create many variations in style.
Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent choice with richer dishes thanks to its full body and firm tannins. Think of red meat, such as steak, lamb and game dishes, as well as dishes with a rich sauce, such as grilled ribeye with a pepper cream sauce. The wine also pairs well with hard cheeses, such as Cheddar or Parmigiano-Reggiano. Well-known examples of Cabernet Sauvignon wines include Bordeaux wines from the Médoc and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons. Thanks to its powerful character and versatility, this grape remains popular among both wine lovers and gourmets.
