Cabernet Blanc
Cabernet Blanc is a true success story among young grape varieties and a prime example of future-oriented viticulture. Bred from Cabernet Sauvignon and fungus-resistant parent varieties, its intense aromatic profile is reminiscent of an elegant Sauvignon Blanc – with notes ranging from green gooseberry, kiwi, and bell pepper to exotic fruits. On the palate, it impresses with brilliant acidity and vibrant freshness.
Cabernet Blanc is primarily grown in Switzerland and German-speaking wine regions, where, as a PIWI variety with natural fungal resistance, it is increasingly winning over winemakers. At Vinoscout, you'll discover five carefully selected wines of this up-and-coming variety – priced between €8.45 and €14.49, making it particularly easy to get started with this exciting grape.

Cabernet Blanc – fresh PIWI variety with character
Cabernet Blanc is a fungus-resistant white wine variety – PIWI for short – that requires significantly less plant protection in the vineyard than classic varieties. This makes it an honestly sustainable choice without you having to sacrifice enjoyment. In the glass, it appears fresh and lively, with a bright, clear fruit and a pleasant acidity structure that reminds one of the style of Sauvignon Blanc.
Versatile in the glass
What makes the small assortment at Vinoscout particularly interesting: Cabernet Blanc meets you here in very different styles. Crémant and Secco show the variety from its sparkling, light side – ideal as an aperitif or for relaxed summer evenings. In addition, you will find the A. Diehl Croco Diehl Blanc, a dry still wine that brings the variety-typical freshness purely into the glass. Also exciting are the non-alcoholic variants from Emil Bauer, which prove how well Cabernet Blanc also performs as an aromatic companion without alcohol.
Your buying guide
With 5 wines between 8.45 and 14.49 EUR, the assortment remains manageable – but that is exactly what makes it easy to simply try everything. Those who do not yet know Cabernet Blanc should best reach for the affordable entry-level with the A. Diehl Croco Diehl Blanc. Those who want to combine style and sustainability are well served with the Nou Crémant Brut PIWI Collection from Weingut Schmidt.
