Information

Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine from Spain, known for its deep ruby color and rich, full-bodied taste. This wine has a bold aroma of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, with hints of spice and oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and flavors of ripe berries, black pepper, and a long, smooth finish. Cabernet Sauvignon pairs perfectly with grilled meats, game, and hearty stews. Its bold, complex nature makes it a versatile wine that complements both casual and elegant dining experiences.

Fun facts

The hot and sunny Spanish climate allows Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to reach full phenolic ripeness, creating wines with bold tannins, high alcohol content, and exceptional aging potential. Many are aged in American or French oak, adding complexity and vanilla or spice undertones.
