Details
This is your classic Sauvignon Blanc - opening with lemon, grapefruit, melon, cut grass, and a light flicker of kerosene. It's fresh, crisp and zippy, and clean on the finish - straightforward, citrusy, and makes for super easy-drinking!
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 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: In French, Sauvignon means "wild". Some say this reflects the wild nature of the Sauvignon Blanc grapevine, which is quite vigorous and can grow out of control if not monitored by vineyard workers.

Pairing guide
This Sauvignon's bright citrus edge and grassy notes pair best with dishes that bring their own punch. Think goat cheese crostini with lemon zest and herbs, or grilled prawns with a grapefruit–chilli glaze to amplify the wine’s tang. A green papaya and mint salad adds the vibrancy the wine lacks, while still staying light. For a vegan option, try charred courgette and basil pesto flatbreads - the herbal lift and fresh greens line up neatly with the wine’s classic SB character.
