Sauvignon Blanc

About this grape variety

An aromatic, naturally high-acid white grape, Sauvignon Blanc is most associated with two very different styles: the flinty, mineral, citrus-driven wines of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé in the Loire, and the piercingly aromatic gooseberry-passionfruit-grassy style of Marlborough, New Zealand. The grape thrives in cool climates and produces wines designed to drink young. Bordeaux blends it with Sémillon for the great dry whites of Pessac-Léognan and the noble-rot Sauternes.
