Wines made from Cabernet franc grapes of Baja California
Discover the best wines made with Cabernet franc as a single variety or as a blend of Baja California.
Supple, fragrant reds with fine tannins and vibrant freshness, showing raspberry, violet, green pepper, pencil lead and gentle spice aromas. Star of the Loire as a single variety (Chinon, Bourgueil, Saumur-Champigny) and of the right bank of Bordeaux in blends (Cheval Blanc at 60%). Also in semi-dry Anjou rosés. A historic Bordeaux variety, parent of Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenère.
Benchmark of Mexican wine (~90% of national output), Valle de Guadalupe at its qualitative heart. Dense, sun-drenched reds with signature notes of blackberry, plum, sweet spice, Mediterranean herbs and a smoky touch, round tannins and a warm palate. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux Merlot, but also Italian Nebbiolo, Spanish Tempranillo, sun-drenched Zinfandel and Syrah — a mosaic of origins. Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc whites.
