Fun facts
Cabernet Franc has a rich history that dates back to the 17th century, when it is believed to have originated in the Bordeaux region of France. While Cabernet Franc is primarily known as a blending grape, it has become increasingly recognized as a varietal wine in its own right. In Argentina, Cabernet Franc is gaining popularity as a single varietal wine, and winemakers are experimenting with growing it at higher altitudes, resulting in more intense and complex wines. Additionally, Cabernet Franc is one of the few red grape varieties that can be used to create rosé wines, and Cabernet Franc rosé is becoming more popular in Argentina as a refreshing and fruity alternative to traditional red wines.
