Sauvignon Blanc Wine

• Is Sauvignon Blanc Dry?

  Sauvignon Blanc loses much of its residual sugar during fermentation, categorically making it a dry wine. Some variations will be sweeter than others due to differences in grape and winemaking techniques. The flavour profile of Sauvignon Blanc is often described as herbaceous with complimentary citrus notes. So, it’s not intended to be a sweet wine.

• Is Sauvignon Blanc Sweet?

  Generally, no. Sauvignon Blanc is a dry varietal, but particular regions ferment the grape differently, which produces more residual sugar and a sweeter wine. For example, Sauvignon Blanc, which is made in Sauternes, France, can be affected by a mold that shrivels the grapes, concentrates the sugars and produces a sweet wine. Late-harvest Sauvignon’s can also be sweeter due to increased ripeness. International Sauvignon Blancs can be infused with various fruit flavourings, which encourage the perception of sweetness but are often balanced with more residual sugar.

• Where is Sauvignon Blanc From?

  The historical roots of Sauvignon Blanc are firmly set within Bordeaux and Loire regions. However, this varietal is now grown worldwide, creating a spectrum of minerality, sweetness and herbaceousness.
