Product Notes

Sauska Cabernet Franc is a luxurious and full-bodied red wine that comes from the renowned vineyards of the Tokaj region in Hungary. This elegant wine is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes, which are carefully handpicked and sorted to ensure only the best fruit is used. With its deep, ruby-red color and intense aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and spice, this wine is perfect for any special occasion. Its flavors are rich and complex, with notes of black currant, vanilla, and dark chocolate, leading to a silky smooth finish. Sauska Cabernet Franc is an exceptional wine that will delight even the most discerning wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

Seriously rich aromas of tobacco and oriental spices, mostly cardamom, cloves, and a touch of cinnamon. Ripe red and black berries come through on the palate, balanced with wonderful freshness and incredibly silky tannins. A truly fine wine.
