Cabaret Noir

Cabaret Noir is a relatively recent hybrid grape variety known for its intriguing blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Reichensteiner. The grape showcases a dark blue to black hue, creating an aesthetically pleasing appearance. When used in winemaking, Cabaret Noir offers a complex flavor profile with notes of ripe blackberries, plums, and subtle hints of black pepper, contributing to a velvety texture. Its medium to full-bodied nature ensures a satisfying mouthfeel, making it a popular choice among wine enthusiasts seeking a unique tasting experience. Whether savored on its own or paired with various cuisines, Cabaret Noir captivates with its elegance and distinctive qualities, leaving a lasting impression on those who appreciate its charm.

When used for rosé wine production, Cabaret Noir exhibits a fascinating transformation that showcases its versatility as a grape variety. The grapes, with their dark blue to black skin, lend a beautiful hue to the rosé wine, giving it a delicate and enticing pink or salmon color. During the winemaking process, the skins are in contact with the juice for a brief period, allowing just enough time to impart the desired tint and subtle flavors without overwhelming the wine with excessive tannins. The resulting rosé offers a refreshing and crisp character with notes of red berries, cherries, and a touch of floral aroma. Cabaret Noir rosé wines tend to be light to medium-bodied, making them perfect for warm weather enjoyment and ideal companions for a wide range of dishes, from salads and seafood to light poultry or vegetarian fare. With its delightful allure and well-balanced qualities, Cabaret Noir as a rosé captures the essence of elegance in every sip.
