Cabernet Sauvignon EVO 033

Origin:

This variety is of French origin, from the south-western region of France.

Origin of the variety in Navarre: The first Cabernet Sauvignon vines were brought to the Upper Ebro area around the mid-19th century. In Rioja Alavesa, this was linked to Camilo Hurtado de Amézaga, Marquis of Riscal. In Navarre, it was introduced in the second half of the 19th century by the Count of Guendulain on his estates in Puente la Reina. In Navarre, it is found in old vineyards close to the province of Álava.

Current cultivation:  Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most widely planted red grape varieties in the world. It is mainly cultivated in France, Spain, Italy, Chile, California, Australia and Argentina.

Agronomic characteristics: It is highly sensitive to powdery mildew, Eutypa dieback and esca. It has medium sensitivity to botrytis. The cluster is small and moderately compact. The berries are small. The leaf is orbicular-pentagonal in shape, with five or seven lobes.

Winemaking potential: It produces wines with a very interesting tannic structure and stable colour when full ripeness is achieved. They are suitable for ageing. Single-varietal wines may lack softness and roundness.
