What is SAUVIGNON BLANC - Everything you need to know about this delicious grape.

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Is it one of your favourites? What would you recommend?

[@numanuma20]

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is great. I recommend Glazebrook. The colo(u)r of it is light gold. It has a some great aromas of jalapeño, cilantro, and tropical fruits, pineapple on the noise. It has a medium to high acidity with notes of pineapple, and lemon grass. It was so good and I want to order that one again. I decided to order a different one because the wine was out of stock online even though my local wine store carries it.

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

@@numanuma20 thanks for the recommendation. Especially the UK (u) haha

[@eflinneflinn]

A great value in Loire Sauvignon Blanc is Coteaux du Giennois, which has become my "everyday white" this year.

[@Nanamipyon]

My favorite Sauvignon Blanc is from French winery ,,Minuty" ❤

Excellent 🥂 I am a huge fan of NZ SB ! I love this fruitiness from Marlborough!

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

YES!!! Really I'm a fan of them all.

Been loving Sauvy B lately. Great video

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

I'm never far from a bottle of it.

Hey! Just found your channel today, subscribed. Love how informative your video is. I take my WSET3 next month so looking for videos like these to help me study!

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Good luck with the exam

@@TheGrapeExplorer thanks a lot!

[@carlcadregari7768]

Yes! All the styles, NZ Cloudy Bay to white Bordeaux Chateau Carbonnieux to Sauternes Chateau Guiraud to Cali Sauvignon Blanc Riesling Skyline.....👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

So many to choose from...

[@carlcadregari7768]

The Grape Explorer do you like new or old world?

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

I'm.partial to both. The Old World one I had in the video is a bit of a fave though.

[@tamalymabemba8768]

Can you please do a video explaining the difference between pouilly fuisse and fume

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Thanks for the idea.

My favourite Sauvignon Blanc is, Nobilo from Marlborough, New Zealand. Had this in a restaurant in San Diego. It's a wine not available in the UK so I buy it when I go to the states.

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Nice. Such a shame not here in the UK

[@lindaeasley5606]

I live in the US and Nobilo is my favorite Sauvignon Blanc ,too . 👍 Superior taste to any other I've tried

[@bananabread5616]

you can get it in tesco for a tenner lol

[@briandoyle5670]

Excellent well done.

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Thanks.

[@gurgisjones1120]

Great choice, from Loire Valley, cool climate, dry, high acidity. I'm having some right now from there in fact. Hadn't thought about it before, but yes, to the nose, it's very much like smelling tomato plants. Cheers!

[@albertsincenbergs5702]

Amazing thing

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Hi. Thanks very much, I really appreciate that

[@TheRscorp]

I like the versatility of the grape. You get NZ wines that are basically straight grapefruit which can't even be compared to a Sancerre. I've had some CA ones lately that had a lot more flowery notes too. Great wine with food with the acidity so one we reach for a lot.

[@mariosalvato26]

another excellent video, could make for a wset3 question, old world sauvignon blanc vs new world sauvignon blanc ?

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Yes I think that's very typical of the type of question that gets asked.

[@vinoljubac]

Thank you! 🥂😊

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

You're welcome

Watching this while drinking Brass Rabbit!

[@casadimilano7048]

Australia, like Adelaide produce great wine! Try a Shaw and Smith Sauvignon Blanc from the Adelaide hills, it’s a classic Sauvignon.

[@tmefim]

Among the different styles and regions, what are the major common threads in distinguishing the varietal? Clearly acidity. Thank you!

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Cheers

[@masjancui5875]

wine can expire???

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

It can indeed. All wine has a best before. Some within a couple of years and some last decades

[@ludedude5228]

This is such a better wine then a Chardonnay. But in general the public is not very wine educated , So Chardonnay is the memorized choice because of it's easily memorized word , especially at restaurants to play it safe in front of guest . Americans are so ignorant when presented with a choice of wine 🍷

[@isenmileshamson4603]

Is Sauvignon Blanc and Blanc the same???

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

There are a number of grapes that end in Blanc. A few examples would be Melon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Chenin Blanc...

[@bluecollarwineguy4447]

I had a question about this variatal. Why do some producers actually like putting in that cat pee smell into their sauvignon blanc? I find that in a lot of wines and it prevents me from actually falling in love with this grape.

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Haha I know what you mean. The highly aromatic ones. The producers would prefer you say blackcurrant leaf haha

[@bluecollarwineguy4447]

@@TheGrapeExplorer and yet cat pee is so much more accurate....🤣🤣🤣
