We've seen California wineries that specialize in just
Red Zinfandel, now let's take a look at a group of guys who
focus only on Sauvignon Blanc. Th
e Sauvignon Republic chose
this particular grape because they say it expresses the "terroir" of its growing place. Their
goal is to produce a wine in each of the areas that it grows best ( California, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and
France). This month they are releasing their first South African Sauvignon. There are 800 cases of this wine, the third
Sauvignon Blanc they have created. The 2005 Sauvignon Republic Cellars Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc sells for $18 and
has citrus and tropical fruit notes with a hint of nettles. This month they are also releasing the 2005 Sauvignon
Republic Cellars Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and the 2005 Sauvignon Republic Cellars Russian River Valley
Sauvignon Blanc which both also sell for $18.
