Sauvignon
Blanc is considered for some of the most
popular, dry and distinctive wines in the world like Pouilly-Fume and
Sancerre in France. Usually blended with Semillon, the Sauvignon
Blanc will add a vibrant, zesty and acidic verve to great sweet and
dry white wines. The home of these wine grapes is the Loire Valley
and the Bordeaux region where have been used for many centuries.
The best Sauvignon Blanc in France come
from the Central Vineyards region, but since the 1980 New Zealand has
unearthed its own style of Sauvignon Blanc, as a result of their
experiment with maturation and fermentation in oak. Sauvignon Blanc
efficiently introduced the wines of New Zealand to the wider world
because they successfully have developed their own style that is
greatly imitated to the great effect in the cooler regions of North
America and Chile.
