Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon blanc is a white wine which is produced from a green-skinned grape variety that originates from the Bordeaux region of France.

The wine does not particularly benefit from ageing consequently it is usually better consumed young.

As a varietal Sauvignon Blancs tend to develop vegetal aromas reminiscent of asparagus and peas with extended ageing.

Every region produces a different taste of Sauvignon Blanc varying from gooseberry, green melon, grapefruit, white peach, and passion fruit.
