sauvignon
Blanc grape variety
Sauvignon is a grape variety used in winemaking.
Sauvignon blanc produces crisp, aromatic white wines with herbaceous or citrus notes: a glass of sauvignon blanc.
Cabernet sauvignon, a cross with cabernet franc, yields full-bodied red wines.
The grape name alone usually means sauvignon blanc: I'll have the sauvignon.
