Cabernet Franc: Bordeaux’s versatile black grape

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is a variety of black grape native to the Bordeaux region, in France.

This variety is known for its hardiness and versatility, being grown in several wine regions around the world. Cabernet Franc bunches are medium in size, with small berries and thin skin, characterized by an intense blue-black colour.

From an organoleptic point of view, Cabernet Franc stands out for its complex aromatic profile. The wines obtained from this grape have herbaceous, spicy and fruity notes, with hints of berries, black pepper, and sometimes a light note of green pepper.

On the palate, Cabernet Franc offers a soft tannic structure and lively acidity, making it an elegant and well-balanced wine.

Cabernet Franc is often used as a blending grape in blends with other varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, but it can also be vinified alone, offering wines of great personality and longevity.

Its ability to adapt to different terroirs and its disease resistance make it a popular choice among winemakers around the world
