Sauvignon Blanc
A wine of electric vitality, Sauvignon Blanc is a study in freshness and precision. Zesty lime, gooseberry, and passionfruit leap from the glass, often complemented by a herbaceous lift of cut grass or green bell pepper. Loire Valley examples, particularly Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, exude flinty minerality, while New Zealand’s Marlborough shines with exuberant tropical fruit. The palate is crisp, zippy, and mouthwatering, often tinged with a saline, almost chalky elegance. Unoaked and bracing, Sauvignon Blanc is the quintessential summer refresher, best enjoyed young, where its piercing aromatics and racy acidity shine at their most vibrant.
