Cabernet Sauvignon is arguably the world's most recognised red wine grape, originating from Bordeaux, France, where it forms the backbone of some of the most celebrated and collectible wines on the planet. It produces full-bodied, structured wines with firm tannins and rich flavours of blackcurrant, cedar, dark cherry, and tobacco, often developing complex notes of leather and earth with age. It thrives in warmer climates like Napa Valley, Coonawarra, and Bordeaux, and is known for its exceptional ageing potential, often requiring years in the bottle to reach its full potential.
