Take your pick from a sprightly bunch of Sauvignon Blanc styles that will take you around the vinous globe, right from traditional and subtle old world to the wholesomely fruity new world charmers – Wine Park’s got you covered

Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape that’s lineage is authentically French and presence is truly universal. The ‘Savvy’ as the Loire Valley grape is adoringly called by droves of aficionados has an impressive empire of vines bearing its clones that would make ol’ Alexander rage with envy. Sauvignon Blanc originated in France’s Loire Valley where cool continental climes and granite sand soils yield a perfumed and fruity white wine with mineral touches that enchant the orthodox purist. It is Sauvignon Blanc’s international odyssey however that makes for a great wine bar story, unlocking copious layers of flavours and dimension to its character. Nowhere outside France has Sauvignon Blanc found its best expression than in New Zealand’s Marlborough region where deft winemakers divined an overtly fruity style that stunned the world with a vigorously fruity palate. South Africa’s Sauvignon Blanc commands plenty popularity too for its distinctly herbaceous style in windswept regions of the Western Cape. And there’s no better way to acquaint yourself with Sauvignon Blanc than a sumptuous flight of the generously fruity white, spanning some fabulous and distinct styles. Cheers!
