Details
Crikey! That's good... Tropical kiwi/passionfruit, zesty lemon, refreshing grapefruit, and a little cut grass around the edges! Crisp natural acidity adds a little energy and length to the finish. Proper summer swiller.
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, South Africa and Australia 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: That freshly cut grass flavour that's found in Sauvignon Blancs? It's all thanks to 'methoxypyrazines'. Drop that one the next time you're describing the flavours and everyone will think you're a fancy scientist.

Pairing guide
For this fit-for-purpose Sauvignon Blanc, try a simple white fish, like barramundi or snapper with a garlic, chilli, and lime broth! Or just head to your local Thai restaurant for a BYO bonanza! This juicy, aromatic white also pairs well with grilled asparagus with tangy goat’s cheese and marinated artichokes. Or go large with a sumptuous roast turkey stuffed with herbs to mirror the aromatics of this gorgeous wine.
