Sauvignon Blanc, pronounced so-vee-NYOHN BLAHN, is a white wine with a crisp, grassy, and herbal taste. The balanced nature of the wine welcomes a diversity of food pairings including light poultry and seafood dishes as well as spicy foods and vegetarian dishes.

The wine pairs well with a plethora of cheeses including Monterey Jack, Muenster, Swiss, Gouda, Cheddar, Swiss, Havarti, and more.

  • Matua Sauvignon Blanc – hailing from Marlborough, New Zealand, this white wine has 13.5% ABV. Dry with a light body and a crisp, citrus, and tropical flavor, the wine pairs wonderfully with chevre (goat cheese) or feta.
  • Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc – another choice that welcomes chevre and other soft cheeses, this wine has 13% ABV and is also made in Marlborough, New Zealand.
  • Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc – another New Zealand white wine, this option has 13.5% ABV and a more complex flavor profile. An expert Sauvignon Blanc, pair this wine with goat cheeses of similar stature like Montealva.
