Sauvignon Blanc Wine Guide

What is Sauvignon Blanc?

Sauvignon Blanc is known for its distinctive aromatics and refreshing acidity. The grape produces wines ranging from the grassy, flinty styles of Sancerre to the tropical, exuberant expressions of New Zealand. Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most food-friendly white wines, with its high acidity cutting through rich dishes. In Bordeaux, it's often blended with Sémillon and may see oak aging, creating more complex, layered wines.
