A new tool to promote Sauvignon

The Concours Mondial du Sauvignon is currently putting the finishing touches to a guide reviewing all the major Sauvignon producer regions across the globe. From the Loire to Austria, via Rueda and South Africa, it aims to provide industry members and consumers alike with a major compendium of Sauvignon styles, growing environments, facts and figures. It contains profiles written by several well-known contributors from all the leading producer countries, including Emma Jenkins MW, Gabrielle Vizzavona, Pedro Ballesteros MW, Deborah Parker Wong and Sharon Nagel. The guide is due to be released shortly.
