Sauvignon Blanc (100%)

Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, aromatic white grape variety known for its zesty acidity, expressive character, and unmistakable freshness. Originating in the Loire Valley—home to benchmark wines like Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé—it has found success in regions around the world, from Marlborough in New Zealand to Bordeaux, California, Chile, and South Africa. Typically dry and unoaked, Sauvignon Blanc bursts with flavours of citrus, green apple, gooseberry, and tropical fruits, often layered with notes of cut grass, bell pepper, or flint, depending on the climate and soil. Cool-climate examples are lean and mineral, while warmer styles can be more generous and fruit-forward. Its crisp, mouth-watering profile makes it a natural partner for seafood, goat cheese, and fresh herbs. Whether sharp and steely or rounder with a touch of oak, Sauvignon Blanc remains a go-to choice for lovers of lively, expressive white wines.

Loire Valley - One of France’s most diverse wine regions, stretching from central France to the Atlantic coast. Chenin Blanc thrives here, producing wines known for their freshness, mineral character and ability to age gracefully while retaining vibrancy.
