Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine grape variety celebrated for its bright acidity and vibrant flavors. Originating from the Loire Valley in France, it has gained global popularity. Sauvignon Blanc wines often exhibit pronounced citrus, green apple, and herbaceous notes, with a distinctive grassy or green bell pepper character. This grape is widely planted in regions like New Zealand, California, and South Africa, producing refreshing and zesty wines that are enjoyed for their crispness and versatility.
