Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape variety associated with high acidity, pronounced aromatics, and a wide range of regional expressions. Its character is often marked by citrus, green apple, gooseberry, grass, herbs, passion fruit, or flint, depending on climate, ripeness, and winemaking approach.
The variety is historically important in the Loire Valley and Bordeaux, and it has become globally prominent through regions such as Marlborough, California, Chile, and South Africa. It is commonly produced as a dry, unoaked wine, though it may also be blended, oak-aged, or used in sweet wines, making versatility central to its identity.
