This is a bright, citrus-driven and slightly grassy iteration of Sauvignon Blanc. A fabulous alternative to a New Zealand's style, the Pacific Sound boasts intense notes of gooseberry and asparagus, with oodles of fresh, crisp acidity.

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: Like many grapes that are common around the world, it has many synonyms. In California, if it is oaked, it's sometimes called Fumé Blanc, in Austria it's called Muskat-Silvaner, and in Germany, Feigentraube. Don't worry, German isn't our native tongue either so we had to look up the pronunciation too.
