Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine grape variety that is grown in many regions around the world, including France, California, New Zealand, Chile and Australia. Sauvignon Blanc wines from the region of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé in France are known for their minerality and citrus flavors, while those from New Zealand are known for their tropical fruit flavors. Sauvignon Blanc wines from California and Australia have a more full-bodied style and often show more ripe tropical fruit and oak notes.

Sauvignon Blanc wines are known for their high acidity, crispness and a wide range of flavors, which often reflect the terroir. They can be bright and zesty with flavors of citrus, green apple, and gooseberry or have more tropical flavors such as passion fruit and mango, and sometimes grassy or herbaceous notes.

In general, Sauvignon Blanc wines are considered to be refreshing and easy to drink, they are best served chilled and are perfect for summer days. They pair well with a wide range of foods, particularly seafood, sushi, and salads.
