Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are the most
widely enjoyed, grapes that are known and grown for red wine. The aromas and
flavors of Australian
Cabernet Sauvignon wines include currants, vanilla and even green bell pepper if the wine is made
from under-ripe Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Other characteristics of
this red wine are strong tannins and high levels of alcohol
content. These strong tannins make much easier for Cabernet
Sauvignon to age in cellars for many decades. Cabernet Sauvignon is
one of the youngest grape varieties originated in the 17th century
when Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc were crossed. Aside
Australia, wine makers grown this grape almost everywhere in the world. The skin of the grape is strong and thick, while the wines
resist rot and disease.
