Popular in the US,  Sauvignon Blanc may be a great choice for your wedding, as it is food friendly wine.  It can be paired with appetizers; such, as artichoke dip, veggie dishes and dips, and garlic and Salads such as, Caesar and Greek.  Also, Thai food, fish (all kinds of shellfish), poultry – and the list goes on.

Sauvignon Blanc, an acidic and dry white wine, normally shows an herbal character of bell peppers and freshly grown moss.  The dominating flavors range from the sour green fruits of apples and pears through the tropical fruits of melon, mango and blackcurrant – dependent upon where it’s grown.  Of French origin, Sauvignon Blanc is often blended with Semillon, which imparts richness and adds figs to the aroma.

Originally grown in the Loire region of France, there are good varieties all over the world.  The best way to decided is to do a taste test.  Make sure to choose varieties from New Zealand – as they make excellent Sauvignon Blanc wines..

Key producers to try…

Happy planning!
