Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon (or Cab Sauv) is one of the world’s most widely grown red wine grapes. It comes from a hybrid cross between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc and is renowned for its small, dark berries and thick skins which creates a wine with dense black fruit characters and high tannins.

Vintage

Cabernet Sauvignon was originally planted in the Bordeaux region and remains one of the six grape varieties approved in Bordeaux wines. It is now grown worldwide with significant areas found in Australia, California, South America and right here in New Zealand. It is also commonly used as a blending grape with varieties such as merlot, cabernet franc and malbec which help to soften and round out the stronger cabernet flavours.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Cabernet Sauvignon has a bolder and more intense flavour. Because of this, it pairs well with rich, hearty foods such as steak and lamb, burgers, and portabello mushrooms.
