Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is famous for producing crisp, fresh and zesty styles of white wine with lively acidity and varying degrees of fruit depending on where it is grown.  In it’s ancestral home in the cool Loire Valley it makes a grassy, mineral-tinged style, and is grown widely from Nantes to Pouilly Fume.  Sancerre and Touraine steal the plaudits for the best well-known examples of Loire Valley Sauvignon, but less flashy appellations such as Menetou-Salon can offer excellent value for money. 
Sauvignon Blanc also put New Zealand, most notably the Marlborough region, on the viticultural map where the warm days and cool nights help to produce a distinctive style that is at once crowd pleasing and extremely vibrant.  Tropical fruit, gooseberry, and sometimes cats pee, are all notes that can describe a typical Kiwi ‘Sav Blanc’. 
Sauvignon grows well anywhere where the nights are relatively cool and the days not too hot.  The pfalz in Germany, widely throughout Chile and also in California, are all wine producing regions which make interesting and varied versionsof this noble grape variety.  More often than not Sauvignon Blanc is unoaked and best enjoyed whilst relatively young, although there are always exceptions to the rule!  The ‘Fume’ styles seen in USA and here and there from Europe and South Africa hint towards oak ageing (and sometimes fermentation) and are generally softer in style than the unoaked versions.  Lastly, we should also pay hommage to Sauvignons role in sweet wine production, most notably in Bordeaux, where it provides vital acidity when blended with Semillon to help balance Sauternes. 
Sauvignon Blanc tends to flit in and out of fashion, but it’s noble character and versatility is undeniable.

Clos le Comte Cuvee Emilie.JPG

2022 Clos Le Comte Cuvee Emilie, AC Sauternes

White Blend

The Clos le Comte is a tiny, organically farmed vineyard that produces wonderfully elegant Sauternes.  The grapes are harvested after several passages through the vineyard ensuring that only the very ripest grapes are selected.  Wonderfully ripe, concentrated and complex fruit aromas. The rich bouquet shows notes of dried fruits, almonds, apricots, fresh citrus and peach blossom. Well structured on the palate with a viscous density resulting from the high levels of botrytis. Beautiful acidity gives excellent lively freshness to the spicy notes on the long finish.

Bel A Ciao.JPG

2023 Bel a Ciao Vin Orange, IGP Atlantique

Semillon/Sauvignon

It's Bordeaux Jim, but not as we know it! Outlandish winemaker Olivier Cazenave likes to do things a little differently and this Orange Bordeaux is testament to that.  Made with predominantly Semillon that spends two weeks on skins before being run off by gravity into a seperate tank for a further 6 months at 5 degrees Celcius until bottling.  A tiny amount of traditionally fermented Sauvignon and Muscadelle is added to add freshness and a floral edge.  No sulphur was used at harvest and is only used in the bottling process when absolutely necessary.

Idun Cabriole Sauvignon.JPG

2023 Sauvignon Blanc ‘Cabriole’, Idun Winery, WO Bot River

Sauvignon Blanc

The Cabriole Sauvignon Blanc from the Idun winery is an elegant yet expressive Sauvignon from the cool Bot River region of South Africa.  Subtle tropical fruit is beautifully balanced with saline touches and minerality on both the nose and palate, which builds to show an impressive richness whilst never losing freshness and expertly poised acidity.  This terroir driven wine nods more to the classic old world Sauvignon Blanc from Europe than it does the modern Kiwi style, but there is enough character to satisfy lovers of both styles - very impressive.
