Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp and refreshing white wine grape, known for producing Sauvignon Blanc wines, that is grown in many wine regions around the world including Bordeaux and Loire Valley in France, New Zealand, California, Italy, Chile, and South Africa. Known for its high acidity, citrus elegance, and herbaceous flavours of grass, green apple, and tropical fruit, Sauvignon Blanc grapes produce a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with seafood, salads, and spicy foods.
The Marlborough region in New Zealand is particularly famous for its Kiwi Sauvignon, which offers vibrant and zesty characteristics. Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc and Sancerre, both from France, are renowned for their refined and mineral-driven expressions. Additionally, crisp Sauvignon Blanc wines can exhibit a range of sweetness, from dry to sweet wines, offering a delightful array of options for different palates.
Sauvignon Blanc thrives particularly well in the coolest regions and cool climates, where it can develop its signature crispness and aromatic intensity.
