A Grape of Many Faces

  • Marlborough, New Zealand: The king of pungent grassiness with hints of tropical flair.

  • Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, Loire Valley, France: Mineral-driven with a touch of flintiness and citrus.

  • Bordeaux, France: Often blended with Semillon, offering a richer body and subtle sweetness.

  • California: A diverse playground, from citrusy styles to tropical fruit bombs.
