About Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is a white-wine grape from western France, now successfully grown in emerging and established wine regions worldwide. The variety produces lightly colored, aromatic dry white wines with fresh acidity. However, its geographical spread and versatility mean it is found in a range of styles from classic dry white wines; to individual, highly aromatic international interpretations; to unctuously sweet, botrytized wines.

The key selling point of Sauvignon Blanc is its straightforwardness – the flavors are rarely hidden away in the background. Also, there is a particularly close correlation between the perceived flavors and their descriptors, making Sauvignon Blanc an ideal wine with which to begin wine-tasting lessons. Wines are generally quite clear and bright, although more aged examples may develop more of a golden hue.

Classic Sauvignon Blanc aromas range from grass, nettles, and asparagus to green apples and gooseberries and to more esoteric notes such as cats’ pee, blackcurrant leaf, and gunflint. The latter is a sign of wine from Pouilly-Fumé in the Loire. In New World regions and warmer climates, aromas can push into more tropical areas, and include grapefruit, mango, and carambola (star fruit). Thiols (such as 4-methyl-4-mercaptopentan-2-one, or 4-MMP) and methoxpyrazines (associated with green, bell pepper notes) are generally credited with giving Sauvignon Blanc its somewhat unique green, grassy aromas, especially in Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
