Pronounced - cab-er-nay fronk
A French variety which has the same, if not greater, status as cabernet sauvignon and is grown extensively in Bordeaux and Northern Italy. Cabernet franc is grown in most viticultural areas in Australia and is often blended with cabernet sauvignon.
Whereas cabernet sauvignon will generally display a lack of middle palate, cabernet franc does not. The blend of earthy and generous fruit notes is complemented further by this wines usual full soft tannin and overall soft mouth feel.
