Sauvignon Blanc – Clear, Vibrant and Full of Expression

Aromatic, Precise and Unmistakable – The Character of Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc, also known as Blanc Fumé in the Loire Valley, is among the 20 most widely planted grape varieties in the world. When vinified as a single variety, it produces fresh white wines with a distinctive, individual character. Typical aromas include blackcurrant and gooseberry, complemented by notes of grass, nettles, herbs as well as green and tropical fruits. These flavours are often enhanced by a mineral edge and supported by a clear, vibrant acidity that gives the wine tension and excellent drinkability.

Origin & Key Growing Regions for Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc originates from France, particularly the Loire Valley, where elegant, mineral-driven and often subtly smoky wines are produced. From there, the grape has spread across the world. Today, some of the most renowned Sauvignon Blanc regions include:

• Loire Valley (Sancerre)
• South Africa
• New Zealand
• Alto Adige (Südtirol)
• California

This diversity makes Sauvignon Blanc one of the most exciting white grape varieties, always shaped by climate, soil and the individual winemaker’s touch.

Winemaking and Style of Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is most commonly fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its aromatic freshness and varietal purity. Some winemakers deliberately choose ageing in large oak casks or extended lees contact, adding texture, depth and complexity. The result ranges from light, refreshing wines to more ambitious, structured Sauvignon Blancs with ageing potential.

Sauvignon Blanc as a Food Pairing Wine

Thanks to its freshness and aromatic profile, Sauvignon Blanc is an extremely versatile food wine. It pairs beautifully with fish and seafood, asparagus, salads and vegetarian dishes. It is also an excellent match for goat’s cheese, Asian cuisine or light dishes with herbal and citrus notes.
