Cabernet Sauvignon
Top countries producing this wine: |
Commonly known as the king of red wines, Cabernet Sauvignon produces the most sought-after wines in the world, from the top châteaux of Bordeaux (principally the Médoc and Graves appellations) to the resplendent reds of California’s Napa Valley. Arguably the most successful red grape in the history of winemaking, its popularity continues to boom, with new plantings in top quality regions such as Argentina, Chile and South Africa. Even in Italy, where the focus is on traditional Italian varieties, Cabernet-based “Super Tuscan” blends such as Sassicaia are ranked among their most highly prized wines. The appealing flavor, structure, longevity, and overall complexity of Cabernet make it a superior wine grape. The body is often full and richly layered, with an array of tastes such as black currant, black raspberry, eucalyptus and anise. Tobacco and cedar box spice are characteristic of the silky maturity of older vintages. |

Spain trails only France and Italy in the amount of wine it produces, and its rich viticultural history predates them both, starting around 1100 BC when the wine-making Phoenicians established the trading post of Cádiz in what's now southwestern Spain. Carthaginian and Roman occupiers later expanded the trade in the country. Spanish geography plays an important role in the country's winemaking. Several of Spain's major rivers flow from a vast plateau in central Spain called the Meseta Central, carving out the valleys that harbor Spain's top wine regions. These rivers include the Ebro, which runs through Spain's famous Rioja wine region, and the Duero, which flows through the Ribera Del Duero region. Mountains also serve to protect many of these regions from rain and harsh weather coming off the surrounding coasts. There are at least 400 grapes planted in Spain, though about 80% of its wines come from a selection of about 20 grapes, the most important of which are Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and Albariño. |
