Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa
Sauvignon Blanc - Origin of the grape variety
White wine plays an important role in South Africa. About 55% of the total vineyard area locally is planted with white wine. Originally from the Loire Valley in France, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the best-known white wine grape varieties in the world.
In contrast to the white wine grape variety Chenin Blanc Sauvignon Blanc is widely known in Germany. The mineral acidity, as well as the strong dependence of the climate are ideal for the cultivation of Sauvignon Blanc in South Africa.
