CaBernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon: Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most sought after red wines. Often referred to as the "King of Red Wine Grapes," it is originally from Bordeaux in France. Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It's grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates. Cabernet Sauvignon is an ideal wine for aging, with 5-10 years being optimal for the maturation process to peak. Because Cabernet Sauvignon takes a bit longer to reach maturation, allowing flavours to mellow, they're ideal candidates for blending with other grapes, primarily Merlot. This blending softens the Cabernet, adding appealing fruit tones, without sacrificing its innate character.

Food Matches: Cabernet goes well with meaty casseroles or salami...and Australian hard cheeses. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely best with flavoursome meat dishes.
