The grapes

Cabernet Franc

Best known in Loire Valley, Bordeaux

Lighter and more fragrant than its famous offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon. Red berries, violets, graphite and a leafy freshness. In the Loire it shines on its own; in Bordeaux it adds perfume to the blend.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Best known in Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Coonawarra

The backbone of Bordeaux and the world's most famous red grape. Blackcurrant, cedar and firm tannins, with real ageing potential. Riper climates give plusher fruit; cooler ones more structure and leafy freshness.

Where it's from

Stellenbosch

South Africa

The Napa Valley of South Africa — beautiful, prestigious, home to many of the country's most celebrated estates. Granite and sandstone soils, cooling maritime influence from False Bay, and a commitment to Cabernet and Chenin Blanc that results in some of the southern hemisphere's finest wines.
