Let me know below 👇👇👇 of any other grape varieties that you found similar in style, quality or structure to those of Cabernet Sauvignon 🍷
Here in Germany Lemberger still is mostly used for cheaper and simple wine but it sure has some great potential and a few winemakers have started to create some really good versions.
A great you should keep on your radar for the future.
Yes, that is true. Though, I truly have tried some great examples, it was not the style it is usually made in. 🍷
S.A.P.E.R.A.V.I.

Your dog had us CACKLING. Main character energy -- and well-deserved!
He is the main character indeed, whenever we start to setup camera he comes and always tries to get in front of it. 😂
I love your dog 🥰
There may be alternatives to Cabernet Sauvignon to drink, but there are no alternatives to beautiful you Agnese, on youtube for wine education and entertainment ❤ 🍷
This comment made me smile wide! 🥰🥰🥰
Totally agree re: Malbec. I've become a fan and it's surprising how affordably we can get some labels where I live.
Yes, great Malbec can be an absolute gem and very affordable both from France and from Argentina! 🍷
It amazes me how people can talk about wine so scientifically. Seems to me that not only taste is subjective from person to person, but it’s also subjective for the same person from day to day. I, for example, used to think that Cabernet is my favorite. While I still like it (depends on the producer) I’ve found that I like carmenere more. Before I didn’t care for Pinot noir because of the wines I tasted at the time. Now I realize that there is a specific type of Pinot noir that I actually like a lot. So, this is all to say that there are a lot of factors determining one’s preference.
Our taste and preferences develop over the time. With few exceptions, of course, we don’t wear the same clothes as we did 10 years ago, don’t eat the same things, etc. So it makes sense that we don’t drink the same wine, and I think that is completely fine, and even kind of nice!
Hi Agnes, I had the fortune to try all but one those grape varieties...Blaufränkisch not yet in my glass..sadly. Btw when I was in Belgium I had the luck to get different wines from all the world...even at the supermarket.. maybe Xinomavro from Greece or Saperavi from Georgia? I don't know..there are so many good stuff all over the world..I don't say something italian because we have so many different grape varieties that we get lost. Thanks to bring the attention to different wine kinds...well done!!! Cheers
Thank You! There are indeed many unique and exciting wines and grape varieties to explore. Greece and Georgia is also becoming more popular and is catching attention of regular consumers and sommeliers. It is a beautiful world to explore! 🍇🍷
Not only 100% Touriga Nacional, but the red wine blends made from typical port grapes, including Tinta Roriz, Tinta Cão, etc. There are some fantastic reds being made from the Douro now. You described it perfectly when you mentioned floral notes.
Thank You! I will be going to Douro very soon and hope to explore much more! 🙌🍷 Cheers!
Steak - Malbec! Steak - Malbec!
On a more serious note, I really apprechiate the effort you put into the visuals and film snips from wineries. Wine is a hard topic to simpy stand in front of the camera and talk about it's smell and taste.
Thank You, I appreciate it. We really try to make videos also fun to watch and make, and of course some of the elements are inside jokes. 🍷 Cheers! 🥂
Had a bottle of Angelica Zapata from Catena Zapata of Argentina. Gave of hints of plum and black currants. Fantastic elegant taste, will make it my go to for special events.
Definitely, great wine! 🍷🍷🍷
Great video! I also like the Basilicata versions of Aglianico as a cab alternative
That is a great alternative and I like these wines a lot. 🙏🏻 True! They can offer good alternative to those of us who enjoy Cabernet Sauvignon! 🍷
When I started watching the video, I almost commented: "What about Touriga Nacional?" Then it came🙂 However, the main region for TN is Dão and you can find more characteristics TN wines from that region. I'd recommend Quinta de Perdigão.
Btw, your Hungarian pronounciation is pretty good🙂
Yes, You are 💯 correct Touriga Nacional is Dão grape. However, in my view Douro offers style more similar that of Cabernet Sauvignon. Maybe I am being wrong.. 😑
And thank You for the compliments and tip for the wine, I will be in Portugal this spring, will try to seek it out’ 🙌
@@NoSedimentYou may be right. I though of where you could find a really authentic TN wine and it's rather Dão than Douro. However, if you look for a CS style wine, Douro may be better. Interesting thought.
@@NoSedimentGreat! To which region are you going?
Fascinating alternatives... I wonder if these alternate grapes, other than Malbec and Tempranillo, can be made to age well ???
Blaufrankisch and Touriga Nacional for sure! 👍
Hi Agnese - the austrian region your pointing out is NOT the one, that is famous for its Blaufränkisch, although there are some remarkable producers
The "Mittelburgenland", a zone more to the south next to Leithberg is called "Blaufränkischland" and home of the most interesting and highest rated BF .
Which region is not the one? I mentioned Leithaberg and Curnuntum, both known for Blaufrankisch. 😅
Carnuntum is known for its great wines, but I wouldn't call it the Blaufränkisch heartland. In Carnuntum the proportion of BF is about 9%, Leithaberg 20% and Mittelburgenland 50% of the vineyard area.
Mittelburgenland DAC (south of Leithaberg) is referred to as Blaufränkischland because Blaufränkisch is the measure of all things in this DAC and many of the best wines grow here. If you are looking for great BF you need to visit Mittelburgenland ;-)
blaufraenkischlandDOTat
@gerhardgerhard8888 I agree that it is not the heartland, but it produces amazing Blaufrankisch wines, and why not explore them? Also for much better price tag! 😉 Leithaberg, Mittelburgenland and Eisenberg are all important DAC for quality Blaufrankisch, therefore let’s just explore them all.
Vranec came to mind when thinking of big cab sav alternatives. Would you like to do one on Pinot Noir? This year I discovered Prokupac as am alternative.
Vranac is a good alternative, agree! 👍 though very hard to find’ 😓 Yeah, I can do similar on Pinot Noir’ 🙌
Hi Agnese. My sick mother asked if you could kindly focus on whites coming spring and summer. She drank a lot of reds during winter and is keen to get fresh. On behalf of my sick mother, thank you.
PS: Malbec was one of my winter fav's. I liked both Cahors and Mendoza, and there's a lot of value to be found in the latter especially.
I don’t even know how to answer to this. 😬
@@NoSediment 😂 Maybe you don't have this expression in Latvian. It means that you pretend to ask for the benefit of someone else, but in reality you're asking for yourself. It's a stupid joke and I apologize for taking up your brain space with this nonsense 😅😅
@QualeQualeson in that case very good, because I was starting to be worried. 😂😂😂
What are your thoughts on Petite Syrah?
You have a beautiful puppy BTW 🐶❤️👍🍷
I haven’t drank it so often, therefore I don’t have a huge experience. 😓 I think it is more associated with US than any other winemaking country, and even then it is not the one to be exported. 🫣
@@NoSediment It is very similar to Cab Sauv - full body with lots of black fruit. The tannins are robust, but chunkier than Cab Sauv.
I believe it is the same genetic phenotype as Durif found in Australia.
