A taste of
Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc produces many different styles of wine depending on where it is grown. Unlike Chardonnay, which maintains certain characteristics no matter where it is planted, Sauvignon Blanc can be a true barometer of the soil and site.

This popular wine is an aromatic white with high acidity. It is known for its sharply etched flavor profile and crisp nature. It is usually light- to medium-bodied but will pick up more weight if it is put into a barrel. The lighter style has flavors of apple, citrus and melon and is often described as grassy or herbaceous while the full-bodied Sauvignon Blanc is more robust and complex.

Sauvignon Blanc prefers cool to moderate, sunny climates and is therefore grown widely in France, parts of California and New Zealand. This grape also enjoys the climates of Australia, Italy, South America and closer to home in Washington and Oregon. Although this popular white was not brought to the United States until the late 1800s, it is the second most popular white wine, close behind Chardonnay.
