Sauvignon Blanc grapes are native to France’s Loire Valley and Bordeaux region, with the vineyards of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé celebrated for their crisp, refreshing wines and signature flinty character.

Outside its homeland, New Zealand is now synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc, known for producing wines that balance vibrant fruit flavors with high acidity and a crisp, refreshing, dry finish. These green-skinned grapes also thrive in wine regions across the globe, including Italy, Spain, Chile, South Africa and the United States.

Sauvignon Blanc is typically a dry wine with refreshing acidity and vibrant, zesty aromas and flavors. Light in both body and color, it’s often enjoyed on its own but can also be blended with other grapes. In France’s Bordeaux region, Sauvignon Blanc is paired with Sémillon and Muscadelle to craft elegant dry whites and the renowned dessert wines of the Sauternes region.

In France’s cooler Loire Valley, Sauvignon Blanc offers crisp, zingy wines with bright acidity and green fruit notes like:

• Gooseberry
• Lime
• Nettle
• Elderflower
• Cut grass
• Green apple

Meanwhile, New Zealand’s warmer climate brings out the grape’s tropical side, delivering vibrant wines with summery flavors such as:

• Grapefruit
• Lime
• Mango
• Papaya
• Guava
• Passionfruit
• Green bell pepper
• Pea

This versatility makes Sauvignon Blanc a favorite for wine lovers around the world.

Sauvignon Blanc offers consistently delicious flavors, making it easy to find quality wines from regions worldwide. For the best examples, look to top regions like France’s Loire Valley or Marlborough in New Zealand, renowned for their exceptional Sauvignon Blanc wines.

Sauvignon Blanc’s crisp, fresh character makes it a versatile pairing for a variety of dishes. It complements lighter meats like grilled chicken or pork and pairs beautifully with tangy cheeses such as goat cheese or feta. Its zesty acidity also enhances white fish, shellfish and fragrant Thai curries.

With vibrant green-fruit flavors, Sauvignon Blanc is also an ideal choice for vegan-friendly dishes with bold, herby notes. Try it with pesto pasta, asparagus risotto or plant-based ceviche made with hearts of palm or avocado. It's perfect for bringing out the best in fresh, flavorful meals.

White wines are best served chilled, and Sauvignon Blanc is no exception. If it’s too warm, the alcohol will overpower the wine, making it taste dull. Too cold, and its vibrant aromas and flavors will be muted.

To fully enjoy its crisp, refreshing character, serve Sauvignon Blanc at a temperature between 44-54°F poured straight from the bottle—no decanting needed. Since the wine will warm slightly in the glass, start at the cooler end of the range to maintain its ideal temperature.
