Crisp, zesty and green — citrus, gooseberry and freshly cut grass.
Sauvignon Blanc is instantly recognisable: high acidity and pungent aromas ranging from grapefruit and gooseberry to passion fruit and cut grass. In Sancerre it is flinty and restrained; in New Zealand's Marlborough it's explosive and tropical. In Bordeaux it is blended with Sémillon.
