Origins of Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous red wine grape varieties on Earth. The grape is rivaled only by its Bordeaux stablemate, Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir.
From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. The variety is now the key grape in many prestigious New World wine regions, most notably, Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley.
DNA profiling carried out in California in 1997 confirmed that Cabernet Sauvignon is the product of a natural genetic crossing between key Bordeaux grape varieties Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Most wine authorities agree that this crossing happened only within the past few centuries. This makes the variety's global fame and dominance all the more impressive.
