Sauvignon Blanc is an old French grape variety, it is widely popular for its distinctive piercing aroma. The cultivar is not demanding on fertile soil, however it requires warm slopes because of its low resistence to frost. In the Czech Republic Sauvignon Blanc (locally called just Sauvignon) is the 5th most grown white variety and belongs to the most popular varieties for high quality wines with Prädikat. The changing of warm days and cold nights during the ripening period helps to develop a highly pronounced aroma. Czech winemakers usually intend to process Sauvignon in two styles - "green" with gooseberry, nettle and grass notes or "tropical" with dominant fruit flavors of sweet tropical fruits and citruses which are supported by some residual sugar.

In our offer you can find two more Sauvignon Blanc - Sauvignon Blanc 2015 and Sauvignon Green 2015.
