This is the gray form of Sauvignon Blanc. It is cultivated in the Bordeaux area. It is very similar in character to Sauvignon Blanc, but produces lower yields. It has small bunches and grapes. It has a higher sugar potential than Sauvignon Blanc, so it is perfectly suitable for sweet white wines. It also produces excellent, highly aromatic, dry white wines.
