Sauvignon Blanc

Today we want to take a zesty adventure into the wonderful world of wine where every sip tells a story and every grape variety paints a really unique flavour palette. Today, we’re diving into the vibrant universe that is Sauvignon Blanc- a wine that’s as refreshing as a summer breeze and as lively as a background barbecue in the summertime!

The origins of Sauvignon Blanc can be traced back to the picturesque vineyards of France, particularly the historic region of Bordeaux and the enchanting Loire Valley. Believed to have originated in Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc gained prominence for its role in producing some of the world’s most esteemed white Bordeaux blends, where it harmonises with Semillon to create wines of complexity and finesse.

Sauvignon Blanc Grape Variety Characteristics

The magic of Sauvignon Blanc begins the second that you pop the cork and you’re greeted  with a huge burst of freshness, like stepping into a citrus grove on a sunny day. The aromas dance around on your senses- zesty lemon, tangy grapefruit, and the crispness of green apple. There’s even more to that too Sauvignon Blanc, including hints of freshly cut grass, a dash of herbs, and sometimes even a whisper of tropical fruits such as passionfruit and pineapple. It’s like nature decided to bottle up all of the goodness of a summer picnic.
