Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s best known red grape varieties, and for good reason. Originating in Bordeaux, it has a reliable ability to produce wines with structure, depth and long-lasting appeal. On the palate, you’ll often find classic notes of blackcurrant, ripe plum and hints of herbs or tobacco, with a firm backbone of tannin that can give the wine a beautifully age worthy character.

What makes Cabernet Sauvignon especially interesting is its versatility. In cooler climates it tends to feel more crisp and tightly wound, while warmer regions bring riper fruit flavours and a rounder feel. Many bottles also show traces of cedar, graphite or vanilla, particularly when the wine has been matured in oak.

If you’re choosing a bottle for dinner, Cabernet Sauvignon pairs wonderfully with roast meats, lamb, grilled steak and hearty stews. It also works well with hard cheeses where its tannins can balance rich, savoury flavours. Explore the range and you’ll discover styles that suit everything from a relaxed weeknight to a more considered meal.
