The French Sauvignon Blanc variety is very popular for white wine production.
It is grown in the humid, rainy, milder continental climate found around
Adapazarı, Geyve and the Gulf of Saroz, where the soil is a mixture of clay and
sand, in the volcanic soil of the Cappadocia and in Denizli. The bunches are
medium dense and the skins are not too thick. Wines produced from Sauvignon
Blanc grapes have a medium to high acidity and vegetal, mineral, stone fruits
(peach, apricot) or tropical fruits aromas depending on the climate and
ripeness.
Good examples in world wine making are French Loire Valley (Sancerre-Pouilly
Fumé), Bordeaux, New Zealand, Australia and USA (California).
Egeo Sauvignon Blanc is
produced solely from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in Denizli and Geyve.
