Smoky Cabernet here with plenty of tannic grip and lots of liquorice-laced black forest gateau fruit! It's rich and ripe, with body and grunt. Cabernet, just how we like it!

Origin: It’s believed that the first wines made were in the Médoc region, in the west of France. Mainly Grown In: France, USA, Australia, Italy, Chile, South Africa, Argentina, Spain, NZ… all over, really! Key Facts: Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a globetrotter. Having its home in Bordeaux certainly helped its rapid expansion, as the Bordelaise (those coming from Bordeaux) are excellent marketers of their own product! Now found in almost all wine-producing countries of the world, Cab Sav is traditionally full-bodied, loaded with plenty of dark fruit (think blueberry and blackberry) and backed up by a zing of herbal/grassy kind of flavours. It’s also known for its strong backbone of tannin – that furry, drying sensation you sometimes get with red wines. Cabernet has plenty of it, but is still a smooth talker regardless. Fun Fact: In a study done by Heriot-Watt University, they found that different music types could boost a taster’s wine score by 60%… blasting some Hendrix would enhance Cabernet Sauvignon while a Kylie Minogue tune went well with a glass of Chardonnay. Very apt.
