Sauvignon Gris
Sauvignon Gris is a fascinating style within the Sauvignon family, bringing a softer, more nuanced character than the better-known Sauvignon Blanc. It’s made from grapes that lean towards a greyish-pink hue, which is where the name comes from, and that gentle colour shift often translates into a wine that feels both crisp and gently textured.
On the nose, you can typically expect fresh aromas such as ripe citrus, pear and melon, along with delicate herbal notes that feel light rather than overpowering. The palate is usually lively, with bright acidity and flavours that can range from stone fruit and grapefruit zest to a subtle savoury finish. Depending on the producer and how it’s made, you may also find hints of floral lift or mineral tones.
Because it sits comfortably between zingy white and a slightly richer profile, Sauvignon Gris is a brilliant match for everyday dining. Try it with salads, grilled fish, goats’ cheese, or light pasta dishes. If you’re exploring the Grapes range and want something refreshing with a twist, this is a lovely choice.
