Details
The Cuvée Animal Sauvignon Blanc is zingy, aromatic and bursting with citrus and tropical fruit. Lemon, lime and passionfruit mingle with notes of gooseberry, green capsicum, and cut grass. Crisp acidity and a mineral edge make it mouth-watering, lively and refreshingly pure.

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: In French, Sauvignon means "wild". Some say this reflects the wild nature of the Sauvignon blanc grape vine, which is quite vigorous and can grow out of control if not monitored by vineyard workers.
