Sauvignon blanc

Sauvignon blanc () is a green-skinned grape variety that most likely came from the Loire Valley wine region in France. It has been cultivated in Bordeaux.Robinson, J., Harding, J., & Vouillamoz, J. (2012). Wine Grapes: A complete guide to 1,368 vine varieties, including their origins and flavours. HarperCollins Publishers. pp.935-937. The grape most likely gets its name from the French words sauvage ("wild") and blanc ("white") because of its early origins as an indigenous grape in South West France. 

Sauvignon blanc is planted in many of the world's wine regions, producing a crisp, dry, and refreshing white wine.
