Origin

Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape variety with a somewhat contested origin, believed to have ties to both the Loire Valley and Bordeaux regions of France. While some argue it first appeared in the Loire, others claim Bordeaux as its true birthplace. It is known for its high acidity, aromatic intensity, and versatility in producing primarily dry wines, though it is also used in the production of sweet wines, particularly in Bordeaux.
