Sauvignon Blanc white wine - crisp, fresh, green

Since the Sauvignon blanc grape variety can be found on almost every continent, in every hemisphere and in every vineyard, an enormous variety of tastes of French white wine has developed. All of them combine the typical accents of the grape, which is expressed in freshly mown grass, herbs and green fruits. 
Two styles have noticeably developed in different directions. From the pen of the Loire Valley winemakers, come fresh and direct white wines that ferment chilled in steel tanks. New Zealand, South Africa and Chile took this style to a new level with exotic nuances. 
This style is contrasted with the form of the white wines from the Bordelais, which are often aged in wood as a cuvée, together with the Sémillon grape. Thus, in Sauvignon blanc white wine, one discovers complex and spicy notes that cause a sensation under the status of Grand Cru. This style is also very popular in California, with the name Fumé blanc having a strong influence on the rise of the grape in the USA.

In the fresh, crisp and aromatic body of the Sauvignon blanc, one experiences aromas of currant, asparagus, peach, melon, fig, fennel, in the barrique also apple and pear and sometimes green pepper.

On the grape, noble rot can develop, which enables the winemaker to vinify sweet wine. Sauvignon blanc offers many possibilities and can be vinified dry, semi-dry, sweet, noble sweet and brood.

New world, new ideas - the origin and journey of Sauvignon blanc

Sauvignon blanc, how could it be otherwise with such a melodious name, comes from the Loire Valley, near the two towns of Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire, from which the best Sauvignon blanc white wines still come today. Sauvignon blanc enjoys the highest recognition in France and is considered cépages noble, the highest distinction as the noblest grape variety. It is an accidental and natural cross between Traminer and Chenin blanc. 
The grapes are quite frugal, prefer warm regions, but also feel comfortable enough in colder areas to ripen extensively in fertile and medium-heavy soil. This is one of the reasons why Sauvignon Blanc wine has spread all over the world today. In countless regions and corners of the world, the vines, with their golden yellow grapes, are cultivated on not too steep vineyards. 
The wines from New Zealand are particularly noteworthy. With a very own fruity and exotic style, the Kiwis have conquered the wine world with their creations and even surpassed the wines from the Loire Valley. Other significant areas of cultivation can be found in Australia, Chile, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Argentina, Spain, South Africa, Romania, the USA and even Germany. As mentioned - worldwide.
