Collection: Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s most famous and age-worthy red grape varieties, known for structure, dark fruit and powerful character. From classic Bordeaux and Napa Valley to cooler-climate and lower-intervention styles, this collection focuses on balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with depth, freshness and regional identity.

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s most widely recognised and influential red grape varieties, producing wines known for structure, concentration and ageing potential. Originally associated with Bordeaux in south-west France, Cabernet Sauvignon is now grown across nearly every major wine-producing country, from California and Chile to Australia, Italy and beyond.

The grape naturally produces wines with firm tannins, dark fruit character and vibrant acidity, making it especially well suited to oak ageing and long-term cellaring. In cooler climates and traditional Bordeaux-style blends, Cabernet Sauvignon often shows blackcurrant, cedar, graphite and herbal complexity, while warmer regions can produce richer and more powerful wines with darker fruit, spice and softer texture.

Our Cabernet Sauvignon range focuses on expressive growers producing wines with balance, structure and regional identity, from classic Bordeaux and Napa Valley Cabernet to fresher lower-intervention styles and modern cooler-climate expressions. Alongside established producers, the collection also includes organically farmed and minimal intervention wines chosen for freshness, drinkability and vineyard character rather than excessive extraction alone.

Expect flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, tobacco and spice alongside wines that pair naturally with steak, roast lamb, barbecue and aged cheese. Whether you prefer elegant and savoury Cabernet Sauvignon or fuller-bodied styles with greater concentration and oak influence, Cabernet Sauvignon remains one of the defining grape varieties in modern wine.
