Over the past many decades, Sauvignon Blanc has rooted itself in and adapted to several terroirs across the world, turning out a number of diverse styles. In the old world, the grape has yielded wines of great acidity and grassy notes with understated fruit and floral touches, while in the new world, it has unlocked copious layers of fruit flavours and added weight to its texture. Sauvignon Blanc also played a significant role in the emergence of many new world countries like the US, Chile and Australia. But nowhere outside France has Sauvignon Blanc found its best expression than in New Zealand. Sauvignon Blanc’s success in the new world, especially New Zealand’s Marlborough region catapulted this fruit forward wine into nearly every home cellar and wine list. Known as Marlborough “Savvy”, this overtly fruity style of Sauvignon Blanc stunned the world into drinking lots of it. Cool climate coupled with ample sunshine and gravel and stone laden soils along with deft wine making have crafted a hallmark wholesome style beaming with citrus, grapefruit and pair, gush of acidity and clean finish. So we’re toasting International Sauvignon Blanc Day (May 7, 2021) with not one but two of our best Marlborough “Sauv Blancs” alongside a beautiful ferment from South Africa’s Cape Town, a fascinating Austrian style and of course our very own Daily Dose vintage. Cheers!
