Sauvignon Blanc
In Australia Sauvignon Blanc is used
to make fresh, vibrant
wine styles with none of the heaviness of Chardonnay or the floral
tones of
Riesling. The variety normally displays intense tropical fruit flavours
with
varying degrees of herbaceousness behind which lie tropical fruit,
passionfruit
and gooseberry aromas. But Sauvignon Blanc goes further to provide a
feast for
the senses - from aromas of tomato leaf, spice and flint aromas to
elements of
asparagus, capsicum and gun smoke - to an equally diverse flavour
spectrum.
