Sauvignon Blanc in the UK: A Journey from Vine to Glass
Raise your glasses! We’re about to embark on a delightful wine adventure, one that involves Sauvignon Blanc, the zesty grape that’s been making waves around the world. But today, our focus is on its journey right here in the United Kingdom.
A French Origin, a Cornish Twist
Sauvignon Blanc traces its roots back to the Bordeaux region of France. The name itself derived from sauvage blanc translating to wild white. But hold onto your wine glasses, because the UK is just starting it's own chapter with this grape variety! Currently Polgoon Vineyard is the only vineyard in Cornwall producing a Sauvignon Blanc and is one of a very few in the UK!
The Challenges
Growing Sauvignon Blanc in the UK isn’t all sunshine. Our unpredictable weather bring with it diseases like Powdery mildew, black rot, and Botrytis that keep our winemakers on their toes.
Over the last two decades, our growing seasons have become slightly warmer, and with Cornwall being classified as sub-tropical we have been lucky enough to achieve a sustainable crop of Sauvignon Blanc.
To celebrate our favourite wine here, we are having a Sauvignon Blanc evening at Polgoon.
From 5pm on the 1st June
