Sauvignon Gris is a pink-berried mutation of Sauvignon Blanc, grown in small quantities in France and increasingly noted for a fuller, richer style than its white sibling. California's CDFA crush data for it begin in 2017, a recent addition, and run through 2025 across five districts; no bearing acreage has yet been reported separately. Volumes have grown quickly, from a peak of about 79 tons in earlier years to roughly 157 tons crushed in 2025 alone, with prices reaching about $3,110 a ton. It remains an emerging planting rather than an established California category.

What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for Sauvignon Gris, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
