Cabernet Sauvignon

Known as the king of red grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon produces structured, age-worthy wines that have conquered vineyards across the globe. Its thick skins and naturally high tannins give it remarkable strength, depth, and longevity, while its balanced acidity ensures elegance as it matures. Expressing notes of blackcurrant, plum, and cedar, Cabernet Sauvignon remains a timeless favorite among collectors, winemakers, and wine lovers worldwide.
