Cabernet Franc

Grape Variety

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is one of the world’s classic red grape varieties, valued for its aromatic precision and natural freshness. It produces medium-bodied wines with bright acidity, fine tannins, and expressive notes of red fruit, herbs, and florals. Less powerful than Cabernet Sauvignon but more fragrant and agile, Cabernet Franc excels in cooler and temperate climates, where it delivers elegance, balance, and a clear sense of place.
