Sauvignon Blanc
Grassy French varietal
Sauvignon Blanc is the standard capitalized form used on wine labels, menus, and in formal wine writing to denote the grape variety and wines made from it.
This capitalization treats the grape as a proper noun, following the convention for wine varietals in commercial and professional contexts: The Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with seafood. (Lowercase sauvignon blanc is common in casual usage.)
