Cabernet blanc
Cabernet Blanc[edit | edit source]
Cabernet Blanc is a white wine grape variety that is a hybrid of Cabernet Sauvignon and an unknown white grape. It was developed in the late 20th century by Swiss grape breeder Valentin Blattner. This grape is known for its ability to produce wines with a unique combination of flavors and aromas, often reminiscent of its parent, Cabernet Sauvignon, but with the freshness and acidity typical of white wines.
History[edit | edit source]
Cabernet Blanc was created as part of a breeding program aimed at developing new grape varieties that could thrive in cooler climates and resist common vine diseases. The grape was first introduced in the 1990s and has since gained popularity in various wine-producing regions, particularly in Europe.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
Cabernet Blanc is valued for its resistance to fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and downy mildew, making it an attractive option for organic and sustainable viticulture. The grape thrives in cooler climates, where it can develop its characteristic acidity and aromatic profile. It is typically harvested in late September to early October, depending on the region and climate conditions.
Wine Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Wines made from Cabernet Blanc are known for their aromatic intensity and complexity. They often exhibit flavors of green apple, citrus, and tropical fruits, with subtle herbal notes reminiscent of its Cabernet Sauvignon parentage. The wines are typically medium-bodied with a crisp acidity, making them suitable for pairing with a variety of dishes, including seafood, poultry, and light pasta dishes.
Regions[edit | edit source]
Cabernet Blanc is grown in several wine regions across the world, including parts of Germany, Switzerland, and the United States. In Germany, it is often used to produce varietal wines, while in other regions, it may be blended with other white grape varieties to enhance complexity and balance.
