Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is one of those wines that everyone has an opinion on. Either you love the zingy, grassy, gooseberry-and-passionfruit thing it does, or you find it relentless and you've moved on to something textural. Either way, there are 447 of them on Plonk, so the options are wide.

New Zealand's Marlborough region put the modern style on the map and still dominates the conversation. But France's Loire Valley has been doing this for centuries with a more restrained, flintier approach that makes the Kiwi versions look loud by comparison. And Australian Sauvignon Blanc, particularly from Margaret River and the Adelaide Hills, has its own character worth getting to know.

Perfect with seafood, goat's cheese, and Thai food. Buy by the case, keep it cold, and drink it young. A$15 flat delivery Australia-wide.
