Sauvignon Gris
Sauvignon Gris is a refreshing relative of Sauvignon Blanc, grown from the same vine family but often treated as a slightly more expressive, texture friendly style. You’ll typically find it offers a delicate balance of fruit and herbal lift, making it a great choice when you want something crisp without feeling overly sharp.
In the glass, expect flavours of pear, green melon and citrus, alongside subtle notes of fresh herbs. Depending on the producer and the ripeness of the grapes, you may also notice a faint saline or mineral character that adds interest and keeps the finish lively. Because the style is frequently made to preserve purity, it tends to pair beautifully with light, seasonal dishes.
Try it with grilled fish, prawns, asparagus, goats’ cheese or summery salads with a herby dressing. It also works well as an aperitif, especially when served slightly cool to bring out the aromatic aromas. If you’re exploring the broader Grapes range, Sauvignon Gris is a wonderful option to compare against other Sauvignon styles and discover what a small change in character can do.
