Celebrating Sauvignon Blanc & Pinot Grigio Days
May is a month of renewal, and what better way to embrace the season than by celebrating two of the most beloved white wines? At Humble Grape, we're raising our glasses to Sauvignon Blanc Day on May 2nd and Pinot Grigio Day on May 17th. Join us as we explore the vibrant flavours and rich histories of these varietals, and discover our top picks to make your celebrations truly special.
Sauvignon Blanc Day
A Global Favorite
Originating from France's Bordeaux region, Sauvignon Blanc has captured the hearts of wine enthusiasts worldwide. Known for its zesty acidity and notes of citrus, green apple, and tropical fruits, this varietal is as versatile as it is refreshing. Whether you're enjoying a sunny picnic or a seafood dinner, Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect companion.
Humble Grape's Top Sauvignon Blanc Picks
Explore our curated selection of Sauvignon Blanc wines, each offering a unique expression of this classic varietal:
Château Arzac Blanc 2022, Graves AOC, Bordeaux, France: The expressive nose boasts white fruit, lemon, grapefruit, and a hint of smokiness. A complex, ample, and intense palate unfolds, concluding with a pleasantly lingering finish.
Weingut Von Winning Sauvignon Blanc, 2020, Pfalz, Germany: A veritable firework of juicy acidity, exotic fruits and spices engrosses all your senses. Passion fruit, limes and peaches are tightly packed in a dense structure
Driehoek Sauvignon Blanc 2024, Cederberg, South Africa: This fresh, zippy, Sauv is wonderfully expressive, fragrant, and full of those delicious fruity and herbal flavours, balanced with a lovely texture.
Pinot Grigio Day
Celebrating Elegance and Simplicity
Pinot Grigio, also known as Pinot Gris, has its roots in France but gained immense popularity in Italy. Celebrated for its light body and crisp flavours, this wine often features notes of pear, apple, and subtle floral undertones. It's a go-to choice for those seeking a refreshing and approachable white wine.
Humble Grape's Top Pinot Grigio Picks
Delve into our selection of Pinot Grigio wines, each capturing the essence of this delightful varietal:
Cantine Borga Pinot Grigio, 2023, Veneto, Italy: Wine with a balanced sip, characterized by a fresh and savory enveloping. Interesting pairing with pizzas stuffed with vegetables of all kinds, eggs, fish and shellfish, white meats.
Von Winning, Grauer Burgunder, 2021, Pfalz, Germany: On the palate, it is full-bodied with fine juiciness, delicate playfulness, fine fruitiness, finesse, elegance, and a long-lasting finish.
Hawkshead Pinot Gris, 2022, Central Otago, New Zealand: Ornithologically-inspired winemaking, in the only continental climate in NZ.
Domaine Allimant-Laugner Pinot Gris, 2023, Alsace, France: Rich, opulent and dignified, this is wine royalty right here. Nicolas Laugner would be better off putting a crown on this bottle rather than a label and a foil.
