Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is often a forgotten grape, overlooked by “the other Cabernet” – Cabernet Sauvignon. According to DNA testing in 1997, Cabernet Franc is one of the “parents” of Cabernet Sauvignon. The other is Sauvignon Blanc. Cabernet Franc is used more as a blending grape rather than as a stand-alone varietal. However, it is still one of the the world’s 20 most planted grapes for wine.
