Oyster Bay Sauvi Blanc

about Sauvignon Blanc, which is a popular white wine grape variety also known as Blanc Fumé in the Loire Valley. Sauvignon Blanc was originally grown in the Loire Valley, in the Touraine region around the city of Sancerre, although it is now planted in many other regions of the world including the grape's second home in Marlborough, New Zealand.

The variety has achieved international recognition and is grown in many of the world's wine-growing regions, but it is in New Zealand and Sancerre that it has found its true home. In the latter, it is used to create the famous wines of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Menetou-Salon and Quincy. In Sauvignon Blanc's homeland of the Loire Valley, it generally produces a more mineral and taut style than the richer fruit flavors typically found in Marlborough, New Zealand, where it has become a major component of many sparkling wines, as well as giving crisp, zesty flavors to still wines. In Marlborough and Nelson, New Zealand, it is generally sauvignon blanc that sets the tone for the crisp, fruity white wines that have made the country famous.

Sauvignon Blanc typically expresses citrus, green apple, and grassy flavors, with the herbaceousness that can range from fresh-cut grass to under-ripe tropical fruit, while tropical fruit flavors, such as passion fruit, are also commonly noticed. Wines made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes are usually reasonably priced on restaurant wine lists, with the average price range of $6 to $12 per glass in the United States.

I hope this has helped to give you an insight into the delicious flavors of Sauvignon Blanc. If you have the opportunity, I recommend trying it with foods like herb-crusted salmon or goat cheese, where the minerality in Sauvignon Blanc can truly shine.
