We’re excited to share our new video from Winemaker Parke Hafner that dives into the question, "What’s the difference between Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec?"

We make two red wines, one primarily Cabernet and the other primarily Malbec also known as "Next Red". Parke shares the differences and similarities from the vineyard to the cellar and finally into the glass. 

In the video, you’ll learn about the flavor profiles, body, tannins, and winemaking techniques of these two red wines. 

At Hafner Vineyard, we believe wine is meant to bring people together. That means real talk, no jargon, and welcoming you in as part of the family. From our estate vineyard in Alexander Valley to your table, we control every step to deliver high-quality wine at a fair price. No retail shops, just direct to you.

Thanks so much for your interest in learning more about these two varieties. Read more on this blog or learn about how to farm Malbec here.
