There’s no stork delivery for new wine grapes, so how is it that we have so many varieties?
Most people expect wine to have various fruit flavors, but vegetable flavors? What’s up with that?
Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine grape grown throughout the world, largely in cool climate wine regions. It is characteristically high in acid and low in sugar – good for those who are limiting their sugar intake. Common flavors include grapefruit, gooseberry, grass, lime, lemongrass, and green apple although the intensity of each of these flavors in the wine will vary by its growing region.
