Grape Varietal
Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is prized for its freshness, aromatic intensity, and distinct varietal character. Native to France’s Loire Valley, it thrives worldwide, producing styles from mineral-driven Sancerre to tropical New Zealand wines. Typical aromas include lime, passion fruit, and gooseberry, with herbal notes of cut grass or bell pepper. Naturally high acidity and a zesty palate make Sauvignon Blanc one of the world’s most refreshing and food-friendly white wines.
