Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire, Marlborough, Rueda and South Africa: vibrant whites with lively acidity and notes of citrus, tropical fruit and fresh-cut grass.
Sauvignon Blanc is the white of freshness: aromatic, vibrant and easy to recognise from the first glass. This selection brings together the most sought-after styles, from the Loire to New Zealand by way of Rueda, delivered in 2–4 working days from Marbella, free from €100.
In the Loire, in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, it makes taut, mineral whites with citrus, grass and a smoky hint of flint. In Marlborough, New Zealand, it bursts with passion fruit, grapefruit and gooseberry. In Bordeaux it is blended with Sémillon, in dry whites and in sweet Sauternes, while South Africa, Chile and Rueda offer fresh versions at very good prices.
If you like restrained, food-friendly whites, look for Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé. If you prefer intense, fruity aromas, a New Zealand Sauvignon. For everyday drinking, one from Rueda or South Africa.
The classic match is goat’s cheese. Also asparagus, herb salads, ceviche, sushi and Thai food.
