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. |

Though Australia lacks the history and tradition of other top wine-producing countries like France and Italy, it has definitely made its mark on the international wine market in recent years. During the 1990s, winemaking and wine exports boomed in Australia. Though the market has come back to earth a bit in recent years, Australia is still the fourth-largest exporter of wine in the world. When casual wine drinkers think of Australian wine, they probably think of the critter-laden labels of Yellow Tail and The Little Penguin, among others. And while large wine companies dominate the Australian list, there are also a great number of smaller producers creating highly-rated, award-winning wines. The majority of Australian wine is produced in South Australia, with most of that (those “critter wines”) carrying a South Eastern Australia appellation. Subregions such as Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and McLaren Vale are home to smaller producers and higher quality wines. Victoria and New South Wales are also significant regions, and wines from Western Australia are reaching America in increasing numbers. Though Shiraz is the grape most associated with Australia, they’ve also had great success with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and Grenache. |
