Some grapes are valued for what they contribute. Others are increasingly valued for what they can become.
Cabernet Franc has long been a cornerstone of Bordeaux-style blends, but in recent years it's also earned recognition as a compelling varietal in its own right. Known for its bright fruit, floral aromatics, and elegant structure, it gives winemakers remarkable flexibility while expressing a distinct personality of its own.
As we move into August, vineyard sourcing is entering its final stage. Harvest preparations are accelerating, crop estimates are becoming more certain, and wineries are making the last decisions about the fruit they'll bring into the cellar. Opportunities like this allow buyers to secure a versatile variety that can support both blending programs and distinctive single-varietal wines.
The final weeks before harvest are about more than securing fruit. They're about making decisions that shape the wines you'll be producing for years to come.
The WIN Marketplace helps wineries connect directly with growers offering premium vineyard opportunities, along with bulk wine, equipment, real estate, and professional services.
