The Cabernet Sauvignon grape is small. It has a tough skin that protects it from the rough weather, but also makes it to take longer to mature. Its origin is the region outside the city of Bordeaux, in the south-west coast of France, but today it’s produced in almost any wine region in the world.

Other red wines include the Merlot and the Syrah. Merlot grape origin is unknown, but it’s planted in places like the Medoc region in France (also famous for its Cabernet wines), Western Australia and from Napa Valley, California. Syrah, called Shiraz by Australians, or Sirah by South Americans, is a robust wine born in the Rhone region in France; today it is produced in Australia, California, France and South America, and in less quantity in Italy and Northern Spain.
