Details
Zing! Watch out for the razor-sharp flavours of lime, lychee and lemongrass bouncing out of the glass here. This youthful Sauvignon is bright, fresh and guzzleable. I don't even think that's a word, but it should be. Serve this cold, straight from the fridge on a warm afternoon.
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: Although not a native Australian grape, we love it so much we've given Sauvignon Blanc its own Aussie nickname 'Savvy B'.

Pairing guide
Step by Step have really captured the power of their stunning Sauvignon Blanc grapes in this bright and oh-so moreish wine, and it’s a really versatile little number that will work with the majority of white meat, fish, and vegetable dishes. A top-class salad pairing wine, it loves green vegetables, crisp leaves, and creamy cheeses, and will also work brilliantly with briny sauces, zesty citrus flavours, and simple seafood favourites. Delicious!

Wine region

South Australia, Australia
South Australia is a wide and varied state when it comes to wine production. From the coastal regions of Limestone Coast and McLaren Vale, to the warmer inland valleys of Barossa and Eden, to the flats of Langhorne Creek, there's a range of terroirs and temperatures across this wide brown land. As a result, wines labelled with only South Australia can display a range of flavours! The state is probably best known for Shiraz, Grenache and Cab Sav in reds, and Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay in white. Whatever your flavour, there's plenty to explore!
