Cabernet is one of the most famous red grape varieties in the world. It is known for its deep red color, strong tannins and complex aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, eucalyptus and green bell pepper. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape originally comes from France, where it is mainly grown in the Bordeaux region. Today, however, it is widespread in many wine-growing regions around the world and is considered one of the finest grape varieties for the production of quality wines.
