Santa Mia Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Winery Background and History

Santa Mia crafts Sauvignon Blanc from Chile’s Casablanca Valley, a region celebrated for its cool-climate whites. Casablanca began gaining prominence in the 1980s for its distinctive modern style—delicate, aromatic, and refreshing. Santa Mia represents a contemporary expression of this terroir, focusing on affordability and crisp, fruit-forward appeal.

Producer and Wine Maker

The winemaking is managed by Chilean producers in the Casablanca Valley, aiming to deliver a clean and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc. While specific names aren’t prominently promoted, the team prioritizes delivering consistent, approachable wines that showcase varietal clarity and freshness.

Vineyards and Micro Climate

Grapes are grown in the cool Casablanca Valley, where early morning fog and ocean breezes extend the growing season. Soils here are sandy and well-draining, which helps maintain bright acidity and preserve delicate aromatic compounds. These conditions yield expressive, fruit-driven Sauvignon Blanc with crisp character.

Vinification & Aging Methods

This Sauvignon Blanc is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its lively aromatics and fruit purity. The style emphasizes freshness and vibrancy, with no oak aging—keeping the wine light, zesty, and straightforward.

Tasting Notes

The wine pours a straw yellow with green hues. On the nose, it opens with green fruit and freshness, including hints of herbaceous “chili plant” notes and coastal brine. The palate is balanced and lively—juicy, persistent, and finishing clean with refreshing citrus and tropical fruit tones.

Food & Wine Pairing

Perfect with light, vibrant dishes. Pair with fresh seafood, shellfish, goat cheese, vegetarian fare, or light Asian cuisine. Its zesty, citrusy character complements dishes that rely on bright flavors and fresh textures.

Service Methods and Temperatures

Serve chilled at approximately 10–12 °C (50–54 °F) in a standard white wine glass. No decanting is needed. Serve straight from chill to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift.

Storage and Aging Potential

Designed for near-term enjoyment, best consumed within 1–2 years of release. The vibrant fruit profile shines young; extended aging will diminish the fresh and aromatic qualities.
