A Brief Sip of History

Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, Sauvignon Blanc has journeyed across continents, finding a particularly vibrant expression in New Zealand. Introduced there in the 1970s, the grape thrived in the country's unique terroir, leading to wines renowned for their zesty acidity and tropical notes. Today, Sauvignon Blanc accounts for over 85% of New Zealand's wine exports, solidifying its status as the nation's flagship varietal .WikipediaNew Zealand Wine
