Cabernet Gernischt is a deep-coloured grape, with a deep violet hue. Its aromas are reminiscent of blueberries and blackberries, with hints of spices such as pepper, nutmeg and licorice. The taste profile is full-bodied and complex, featuring a mix of sweet and tart flavours.
Cabernet Gernischt is primarily grown in north China. Cabernet Gernischt is a vigorous variety that is well-suited to moderate to cool climates. It suits well in sterile soil. It is usually vinified as a varietal wine, but also can be used in blends. Like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Gernischt performs well with oak aging. Cabernet Gernischt wines are typically full-bodied, with a good tannin structure and a powerful, long finish. Cabernet Gernischt pairs well with dishes such as grilled meats, game, and hearty stews. It also pairs well with aged cheeses.
