Sauvignon Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc grape produces wines of distinction in most of the areas where it is grown. It originates from the Bordeaux region of France and it can tolerate greater heat than many varieties. These grapes are higher in acid and often exhibit melon in the nose and tastes.

Sauvignon Blanc is often blended with small amounts of Semillion in order to 'round-out' the taste of the wine. Depending on the climate, the flavor can range from aggressively grassy to sweetly tropical. Wine experts have used the phrase "crisp, elegant, and fresh" as a favorable description of Sauvignon Blanc.

Sauvignon Blanc is especially delightful when served with Seafood.
