Chilean Sauvignon Blanc typically produces bright, refreshing wines with flavors of citrus, green apple, and tropical fruit, such as passionfruit and guava. These wines often have a pronounced herbaceousness, with notes of grass and bell pepper. Chilean Sauvignon Blanc tends to be unoaked and has a crisp acidity, making it a perfect pairing for seafood, salads, and lighter dishes. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own, particularly on a warm summer day.
