Sauvignon Blanc’s trademark acidity and delightful grassiness from the chemical pyrazine make the wine refreshing and identifiable. It is a white wine revered around the world. It is a versatile green grape that grows in a number of terroirs, allowing for a range of styles and tastes. Most Sauvignon Blanc are aged in stainless steel and bottled fresh, but the finest Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc is blended with other white grapes and oak-aged. Sauvignon Blanc is often dry, but some New Zealand producers leave some sugar in for a rich sweetness — or even make sparkling wine with Sauvignon Blanc. Blended with Semillon and/or Muscadelle, Sauvignon Blanc becomes the famous dessert wine from Bordeaux, Sauternes.

Sauvignon Blanc is all about straightforward flavours, clear and bright. An invigorating grassiness permeates this acidic wonder, which can balance tart citrus flavours and fruitiness.
France’s Loire Valley, where the grape is said to have originated, produces arguably the best Sauvignon Blanc, but stellar Sauvignon Blanc also comes from New Zealand, Chile, the United States, South Africa, and even Moldova. Australia's Sauvignon Blanc also has significant renown — the best coming from Adelaide Hills and Margaret River.
Warm Climate Sauvignon Blanc stays longer on the vine, losing a bit of the grassiness and taking on more of the ripe fruit flavours of citrus and even exotic fruits. Colder Climate Sauvignon Blanc showcases more of that green herbaceousness from pyrazine.
Sauvignon Blanc should be chilled before serving, since the flavours and acidity will give way to more of an alcohol taste if the wine is warm. At the same time, a Sauvignon Blanc that is too cold will have muted aromas and flavours. After two hours in the refrigerator or half an hour in ice water, the wine will be at the ideal temperature range of 7-12 degrees Celsius.
The quintessential grassiness of Sauvignon Blanc makes this white wine go wonderfully with light dishes showcasing fresh green herbs, whether featured in sauces over chicken, fish, or tofu, or matched with goat’s milk cheeses.
