Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is cultivated across some of the world’s most influential wine regions, with Bordeaux in France regarded as its historic home. Bordeaux’s Left Bank, particularly Médoc and Pauillac, is known for structured Cabernet shaped by gravel soils and a maritime climate. In Australia, Coonawarra is recognised for Cabernet grown on its distinctive terra rossa soils, while Margaret River’s cool maritime conditions produce elegant, concentrated styles. California’s Napa Valley offers a warmer climate and long growing season, creating richer, fuller-bodied expressions. These regional differences give Cabernet Sauvignon diverse profiles of structure, fruit, tannin and ageing potential.
