Discover the best wines made with Cabernet franc as a single variety or as a blend of Mehedinti.
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.
Wine region in south-western Romania (Oltenia, Serbian border and Danube), clay-limestone terroirs and temperate continental climate. Millennial native Fetească Neagră as the signature red: deep colour, intense notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, spices and a smoky-leathery touch, structured tannins and superb ageing. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as rich dark-fruit reds. Tămâioasă Românească and Fetească Albă as aromatic whites.
