Considered by many as the king of the Bordeaux region and grown in almost every major wine-producing country, Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most recognisable wine grape varieties. Used for numerous red wines, this grape ripens late and performs best in warm soils. Cabernet Sauvignon covers an array of flavours and scents, from herbaceous when not fully ripe to blackcurrant-flavoured in more ripened bunches.
