It must be said that we at GPD have played a few rounds of poker and when you see two off-suite jacks in your hand the sunnies go down and you enter a nice game of check, bet, raise. The third jack shows up on the turn and in this case, the Sauvignon Blanc shows guava and pine-lime notes that start to get the heart pumping. The fourth jack pokes its head out on the river with a vibrant pluck, a nice edge of herbs and lemongrass. All in, no questions asked!

Origin: Likely France, but unconfirmed. Possibly a wild grape variety that was indigenous to multiple areas in slightly different forms.

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.
