Country: Chile / Quinel Vineyard Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Bío Bío Valley Winery: Veranda / The bouquet is fairly neutral, but the palate is tangy and citrusy, with cutting acidity.

Country: Austria / Edelschuh Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Südsteiermark Winery: Wohlmuth / Subtlety on the nose hides the hazelnutty softness of this pliable, pleasing and gentle wine that has a balm-like structure which almost comes across as soothing.

Country: New Zealand / The Doctors’ Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough Winery: Forrest / Despite its low alcohol level, this is an attractively plump, medium-bodied wine, marked by a harmonious kaleidoscope of fruit.

Country: US / Estate Reserve Variety: Sauvignon Blanc California Winery: Madrigal / Calistoga This complex, light and floral estate wine is subtle in lemon and green apple, tart without being sour.

Country: Chile / Reserve Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Leyda Valley Winery: Santa Ema / Lime, green bean and asparagus notes vie for leadership on the nose.
