Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, aromatic white grape with roots in France’s Loire Valley and Bordeaux regions, where it has been cultivated for centuries. Known for its distinctive grassy and herbaceous character, it has gained global fame, especially in New Zealand, where its wines from Marlborough are world-renowned. Often blended with Sémillon in Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc is celebrated for its versatility and vibrant expression in various climates.

In the glass, Sauvignon Blanc bursts with flavors of lime, green apple, and tropical fruits like passion fruit and guava, often complemented by its signature grassy or bell pepper undertones. It’s loved for its bright acidity and refreshing nature, making it an ideal match for seafood, salads, and goat cheese. Whether crisp and zippy or slightly rounded with oak aging, Sauvignon Blanc is a go-to for wine enthusiasts seeking vibrancy and freshness.
