Sauvignon Blanc Facts
What is Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing, zesty white wine known for its bright acidity and crisp flavours. Its profile often includes bold notes of citrus, green apple, tropical fruits like passion fruit or guava, and sometimes hints of freshly cut grass or herbs. It’s a versatile wine that can range from super tangy and mouthwatering to more rounded with a slight minerality, depending on where it’s grown. This wine is perfect for anyone who loves vibrant, aromatic wines that are easy to drink and full of personality.
Where is Sauvignon Blanc made?
Sauvignon Blanc is produced in many wine regions around the world, each bringing its own unique style to the grape. Some of the most famous come from New Zealand, where the wines are intensely aromatic with flavors of passion fruit and gooseberry. France is another major player when it comes to Sauvignon, especially in the Loire Valley and Bordeaux, where Sauvignon Blanc produces wines with more subtle minerality and elegance. You’ll also find stunning versions of the wine in California, Chile, South Africa, and Australia, each putting their own spin on this lively grape.
How should I serve Sauvignon Blanc?
Sauvignon Blanc should ideally be served chilled to highlight its fresh, zippy flavours. Aim for a serving temperature between 45-50°F (7-10°C). This allows the wine's bright aromas and flavours to shine without overpowering the palate. Make sure to chill your bottle for a few hours in the fridge before serving, or for a quick fix, place it in an ice bucket for about 20 minutes. Use a regular white wine glass with a slightly smaller bowl to concentrate the aromatic punch of Sauvignon Blanc and get the best out of its full range of scents.
What kind of food goes well with Sauvignon Blanc?
Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent wine for food pairing thanks to its crisp acidity and lively taste. It pairs especially well with light, fresh dishes like seafood – think oysters, shrimp, or grilled fish. Salads with citrus-based dressings, herbed goat cheese, and fresh vegetables also make fantastic matches. If you're feeling adventurous, pair it with green veggies like asparagus or artichokes, which can be tricky to match with other wines. It also cuts beautifully through rich, creamy dishes and pairs surprisingly well with zesty Thai or Vietnamese cuisine due to its citrusy edge.
