Sauvignon Blanc

Crisp acidity, a hint of gooseberry and freshly cut grass: sauvignon blanc is the most refreshing of the great white wines.

The essence of freshness

Sauvignon blanc delights with lively acidity and an unmistakable aroma of gooseberry, blackcurrant leaf and exotic fruit. Most often raised in stainless steel, it stays crisp, clear and invigorating – a wine that never grows dull.

From the Loire to South Africa

Its classic home is the Loire, where Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé produce mineral elegance. In New Zealand it turns exuberant, in South Tyrol alpine and precise, in South Africa smoky and powerful. Few grapes mirror their terroir so clearly.

Our Sauvignon Blanc recommendations

• Sancerre AOC – the Loire classic – mineral, fine and elegant.
• Graf Sauvignon Blanc Alto Adige – the alpine version – precise, fresh and clear.
• Sauvignon Blanc Stellenbosch – South Africa in full – powerful, smoky and exotic.

Sauvignon Blanc at the table

With its acidity, sauvignon blanc is an ideal companion: goat cheese, asparagus, seafood and green salads pair beautifully. With Asian cuisine and sushi it is a refreshing choice too.

Serving it right

Serve sauvignon blanc well chilled, at 8 to 10 °C. Drink it young, while its aromatic freshness shines brightest – most sauvignons are not made for long ageing.
