Cabernet Sauvignon is with out question the king of all red grape varieties. It is revered for its complex aromas, masculine structure and ability to age. It is in the Bordeaux region of France where Cabernet Sauvignon reaches its finest expression.

Wineries all over the world aspire to produce wines that mimic those of Bordeaux. There is even an association for wines made in the Bordeaux style but from other parts of the world with members from six countries – Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, Mexico and the USA.

When you consider that the Bordelaise started growing vines for wine production around 71AD the rest of the world has certainly had some catching up to do! In this unique tasting we will compare some Bordeaux Chateau with Bordeaux Style wines made in other parts of the world. We’ll take an idepth look at Cabernet and other varieties native to Bordeaux and how they have adapted to different soil and climatic conditions.
