Escudo Rojo Sauvignon Blanc Gran Reserva 2023

Region: Casablanca Valley, Chile

Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc from Escudo Rojo is from their vineyards in the cool Casablanca region that lies 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The extreme wind conditions in this area, and chronic lack of rain, produce wines with incredible intensity and focus. Their version avoids the austere, pithy qualities so often associated with Sauvignon blanc, showing a touch of roundness and really good length. Think of this more like a White Bordeaux when you serve it, with seared scallops over angel hair pasta or grilled prawns with lemon and garlic.
