What Is Sauvignon Blanc?
Sauvignon blanc wine comes from a green-skinned grape variety that originates from the Bordeaux region of France (fun fact: Sauvignon Blanc is the parent grape of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which make the famous red wine).
Sauvignon blanc is planted in many of the world’s wine regions, producing a crisp, dry, and refreshing white varietal wine.
It offers a bold punch of acidity and can range from tropically fruity to green and herbaceous to earthy and flinty.
