Sauvignon Blanc
Top countries producing this wine: |
This racy white wine is cultivated throughout the world’s wine regions. In California, Robert Mondavi boosted its popularity by creating an oaked version called Fumé Blanc, most likely in reference to the famous French Sauvignon Blancs of the Loire Valley — Sancerre and Poully Fumé. One of the best values in Sauvignon Blanc also comes from France in the guise of white Bordeaux, primarily Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon added for roundness of texture and longevity. More recently, the Sauvignon Blancs of New Zealand, and Marlborough in particular, have been heralded by wine critics as the finest in the world, famous for their intense, mouth-puckering style of bell pepper, lush passion fruit and a quality they approvingly call “cat’s pee on a gooseberry bush.” On its own Sauvignon Blanc is best drunk young to fully enjoy its distinctive zippy, fresh personality. Highly aromatic citrus, passion fruit, cut grass, asparagus and straw characteristics are often found in this intensely flavored white. Light in body and full of flavor, Sauvignon Blanc is a favorite for pairing with all sorts of light foods, from tapas to sushi. |

Chilean wine production dates back to the 1500s, when Spanish conquistadors brought vines with them while colonizing the region. French vines were introduced to the region three centuries later. Because the country was an ocean away from the phylloxera plague that destroyed vines in France and the rest of Europe, the country remains one of the few places in the world where French varietals are grown on their own rootstock; nearly everywhere else they are grafted onto disease-resistant rootstock from another type of vine. Over the past 30 years, Chilean wine production has taken off and the country is now the fifth largest exporter of wines in the world. Most of its production comes from an 800 mile stretch of land near the geographical center of this long, north-to-south country positioned between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes Mountains to the east. Valle Central, Chile's most famous growing region, is located in the heart of that 800 mile stretch. The most common grapes used in Chilean wine are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenère, which has become the country’s signature red wine grape. |
