Sauvignon Blanc wines are typically light to medium-bodied and are renowned for their high acidity and vibrant flavor profile.

Cabernet Franc is a black grape variety that is one of the major red grape varieties worldwide. It is often overshadowed by its more famous offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon, but it has its own distinct characteristics and merits. Cabernet Franc is known for producing medium-bodied red wines with a high level of acidity and moderate tannins, making it a versatile grape that can be enjoyed both on its own and as part of a blend.


The grape is grown in many wine regions around the world, but it is most famously associated with the Loire Valley in France and the Bordeaux region. In the Loire Valley, it is the dominant grape in appellations such as Chinon, Bourgueil, and Saumur-Champigny, where it produces wines that are lighter and more aromatic than those from Bordeaux.
