Sauvignon Blanc is a grape variety that is used to make white wine. It is characterized by its crisp, refreshing acidity and its flavors of citrus, grapefruit, and herbs. Sauvignon Blanc is grown in many different regions around the world, but it is particularly well-known for its wines from the Loire Valley in France and the Marlborough region of New Zealand.
The name Sauvignon Blanc comes from the French words “sauvage,” meaning “wild,” and “blanc,” meaning “white.” This is thought to be a reference to the grape’s origins in the wild vineyards of southwestern France.
