International Cabernet Franc Day

November 29 - December 7

Cabernet Franc day December 4, 2025, which is one of the wine world’s most important, yet often understated, red grape varieties.Today, Cabernet Franc is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world

It all began in southwest France sometime in the 17th century with Cardinal Richelieu’s love for a particular blue-black grape. He loved them so much that he transported vine cuttings from Bordeaux to the Loire Valley. The berry has been growing and thriving there ever since.

Today, Cabernet Franc is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world. It is a blending wine in French wines. Most famous blends are Saint Emilion and Pomerol.

Luxurious, food-friendly acidic flavours of cherries, blackberries and plums combined with toasty nutmeg and vanilla spices, bring this medium-bodied wine to life

Cab Franc is also the parent of Cabernet Sauvignon

On the palate, it unveils a round mouth feel with the bold tannins  for a remarkably supported finish.

Cabernet Franc is the parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenere.
