Details
This lovely, fruity drop lives up to all the passionfruit-flavoured promises of so many of our favourite Sauvignon Blancs. It hits a great balance of ripe fruit with a pungent sour tang, making it equally thirst-quenching and delicious. Lime, guava and gooseberry with a herbaceous lift of sweet fresh-cut grass — think spring strolls through a dewy morning yard. Great drinking while outside enjoying some sun.
Origin: Likely France, but unconfirmed. Possibly a wild grape variety that was indigenous to multiple areas in slightly different forms. Mainly Grown In: France, New Zealand, Italy, Chile, USA, Sth Africa, Australia (best-known AU regions are Adelaide Hills and Yarra Valley). Key Facts: If you’re a fan of a lime twist in your drinks, the smell of fresh-cut grass in the morning, and have been told you are intense or that "you sure stand out in a crowd", well, you’ve met your match. Sauvignon Blanc is an all-dials-at-max kind of grape, which means it's going to fist pump your senses with its intense (and sometimes pungent) aromas, mouth-watering freshness and a cleansing herbaceous character. As one of the most planted white grapes in the world, it’s no wonder it has claimed hearts in various styles; It can be lean and zesty when it’s from cooler climates and fuller and more tropical when grown in warmer ones. Fun Fact: Centuries ago, a romantic vine affair occurred between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. The two crossed — as vines like to do when they really love another vine — and made Cabernet Sauvignon.

Pairing guide
There’s little doubt about the fact that well balanced Sauvignon Blanc - like this one from A Grower's Touch - is about as good as it gets when it comes to food pairing in the warmer months. Perfect with goat’s cheese and green vegetables, divine with delicate white fish and shellfish, and brilliant with simple, grilled white meat, pasta dishes, rice dishes, and a whole lot more. It has a freshness that does well with light dishes, yet still enough weight and flavour to hold its own with some extra oil in the pan and generous herby flavours. Meaning, it is going to be the dependable and shining star at your table with a big spectrum of summer favourites!
