Sauvignon Blanc

This is one of the world’s most popular white wines. Famous in Bordeaux, famous on the banks of the Loire, but really there’s no region that it is more closely associated with than Marlborough, New Zealand. With its punchy and highly discernible aroma, this green-skinned grape all but took over the world in the first two decades of the 21st century. Such was this proliferation that you’d be forgiven for thinking Sauvignon Blanc was a one trick pony, full of passionfruit and gooseberry flavours that hit and don’t quit. Dig a little deeper, however, and you’ll discover that this grape is a complex and multi-dimensional beauty – after all, you don’t rise to such prominence for no good reason.
