Vine characteristics
Vegetative growth
Plantgrape describes Sauvignon as vigorous with a tendency to produce abundant vegetation. The observation is reference context, not an instruction to choose a particular rootstock or pruning system.
Regional research context
UC Davis FPS's Sauvignon blanc and Sauternes history traces the variety's names and French and California context. It is not evidence of a universal ripening window or a vineyard water requirement.
