Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is mainly grown as a subsidiary grape in Bordeaux. When the grape is not used in a blend, it produces wine with redcurrant flavours.

In recent years, the grape has been planted in the New World, and is often used in Bordeaux-style wines from New Zealand and South Africa.

Being related to Cabernet Sauvignon, the flavours and textures are similar, with Cabernet Franc producing a lighter taste which is softer on the palate.
