Just follow the instructions and you will find it easy to make a cabernet sauvignon wine kit at home.

Cabernet Sauvignon is the most popular red wine in the world, with the grapes being grown across the world. The grape was created in France hundreds of years ago by combining the Sauvignon blanc and the Cabernet Franc grapes to make Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a dry red wine that has a medium acidity and a full body. The dryness mainly comes from the tannins which come from the grape skins.  These mellow as the wine ages, so it's always best to bottle and leave for 6-12 months to condition in the bottle.  

Normally you will find cabernet sauvignon comes with oak chips and this helps mellow the tannins and add extra vanilla and buttery flavours to the wine.  

Because cabernet sauvignon is a child of the sauvignon blanc grape, you can expect the same green grassy, green pepper flavours coming through.  But with added blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry, sometimes chocolate and usually a woody aroma from the oak too.

You may hear cabernet sauvignon shortened to cab sauv or even just cab.  This wine has great ageing potential, so once you have bottled your wine kit, stow a couple of bottles away at the back of a cupboard and for get about them for a few (10) years.  These could end up being the best red wine you have ever tasted.

Remember to drink responsibly as Cabernet Sauvignon tends to be on the higher end of the alcohol scale at around 13-14%ABV.

Best served at a little less than room temperature at around 16-18°C.
