How does the terroir influence the characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc wines?

The terroir, which also includes the aspects of the soil type, climate, and the elevation of the vineyard, significantly affects the attributes of the Sauvignon Blanc wines. To illustrate, wines from cooler regions have a greater acidity and more prominent herbaceous aroma while those from the warm areas will show more ripe fruit and softer acidity. The soil type, such as limestone or gravel, can add some specific mineral features to the wine.
