What Type of Wine is Sauvignon Blanc?
Sauvignon Blanc is a versatile and expressive white wine known for its bright acidity, crispness, and distinctive flavour profile. Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, Sauvignon Blanc has gained global popularity, particularly in New Zealand's Marlborough region. Characterised by its pale yellow colour and aromatic bouquet, Sauvignon Blanc typically exhibits vibrant citrus, tropical fruit, and herbal notes on the nose and palate. It is often enjoyed young and fresh, making it the perfect choice for warm weather and outdoor gatherings.
Why is New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc Famous?
Marlborough, located on the northern tip of New Zealand's South Island, is renowned for producing some of the world's finest Sauvignon Blanc wines. The region's cool climate, ample sunshine, and unique terroir contribute to the wine's exceptional character and intensity of flavour.
Is Sauvignon Blanc Sweet or Dry?
Sauvignon Blanc is typically a dry white wine, known for its crisp acidity and refreshing character. While there may be variations in sweetness levels depending on the winemaking style and individual wine, most Sauvignon Blanc wines are fermented to dryness. This results in a wine that is clean, crisp, and refreshing, with little to no residual sugar remaining.
