Chilean Sauvignon Blancs Chile's wine-producing area is getting lots of attention from some of the world's great winemakers. Because the climate is similar to California's, and since land and labor are inexpensive, they see potential for soaring profits. But they won't be able to jack up the prices until they build a reputation through consistently good wines. This provides a windfall for the consumer. For the next few years, quality should grow faster than price, which will make Chile's wines a comparative bargain.
Typical flavors range from sour green apples all the way to ripe pineapples.
The best food matches for Chilean Sauvignon Blancs are with seafood. Mussels, shrimp, oysters, and scallops all go perfectly. Sea bass, snapper, and swordfish also balance well.
