Sauvignon Blanc, often just called Sauvignon, is an extremely popular variety of grape that makes crisp, dry, aromatic wines all over the world.
From the French stronghold of the Loire valley, to Rudera in Spain, Styria in Austria and Collio in Italy. To the South island of New Zealand, the Casablanca valley in Chile and the coast of California, we will travel far in our search for wonderful examples of this versatile grape.
Susy will hand select six examples of what she believes to be wines of character from across the globe.
