Sauvignon Blanc is the famous white grape of Bordeaux, but it seems like these days, Marlborough in New Zealand is just as well-known for it. In France, Sauvignon Blanc is all citrus (lemons and limes), green fruits (gooseberry, green apple) and usually some asparagus. It always possesses a high, refreshing acidity, and the cooler the climate, the leaner and crisper this wine will be. The climate is cool too in Marlborough - well, up in those high altitude vineyards it is - but there is sunshine pretty much all day every day. This gives a riper style of Sauvignon Blanc and this is where you get that incredible passionfruit filling your mouth so distinctly that sometimes you expect the glass to be bright yellow when you push it back from your lips!
