Cabernet Franc

Often overshadowed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc excels in cooler climates, producing elegant, medium-bodied wines with red berries, graphite, and a hint of green bell pepper. In the Loire Valley, it is fresh and herbaceous, while Bordeaux blends showcase its structure and depth. In the New World, it offers riper fruit and floral aromatics. Moderate tannins and vibrant acidity make it highly food-friendly, pairing well with roasted meats and tomato-based dishes. With age, it develops earthy, spicy complexity, making it a grape of subtle intrigue. Whether bold or refined, Cabernet Franc consistently delivers wines of charm and finesse.
