FAQs

Is Sauvignon Blanc considered a dry wine?
Yes, Sauvignon Blanc is characteristically a dry white wine with high acidity. It is known for its crisp, refreshing nature and is rarely sweet, making it a favorite among those who prefer their whites unoaked and invigorating.

What are the best food pairings for this Black-owned white wine?
Its high acidity and herbaceous notes make it an ideal pairing for seafood, particularly oysters, grilled shrimp, or white fish. It also complements fresh flavors such as goat cheese, vegetarian dishes, and light summer salads.

What is the difference between this and Chardonnay?
Sauvignon Blanc is typically lighter in body, unoaked, and displays bright, zesty, often herbaceous flavors. Chardonnay, especially when oaked, tends to be fuller-bodied, creamy, and exhibits richer notes of vanilla, butter, and tropical fruit. This Sauvignon Blanc is the crisper, more refreshing choice.
