Sauvignon Blanc:

A white-wine grape from western France has successfully emerged and became established all around the world. It is more likely to have originated from Brodeaux, even though it’s associated with the Loire Valley. In the late 20th century, Sauvignon Blanc gained a reputation in Marlborough, New Zealand. It’s colloquially known in that part of the world as “savvy”.

Blanc wine, specifically Sauvignon has a “straightforwardness” to it. Zesty acidity and intense aromatics are a general description due to the wide variety of wine styles. Which makes it an ideal wine to start tasting lessons with. Classic Sauvignon Blanc aromas can range from grass or asparagus to green apples and gooseberries.

A general great pairing for Sauvignon Blanc wine would be, roast chicken with thyme-infused stuffing, prosciutto with rocket and mozzarella, and pan-fried white fish with lemon butter and capers.
