Escudo Rojo Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 75cl

Crisp citrus, green fruit, and a clean snap of acidity, this Chilean Sauvignon Blanc is the kind of white wine that wakes up your palate fast. It’s lively, a little herbal, and ridiculously easy to get along with.

• Appearance: Pale straw with greenish hints, bright and clear in the glass.
• Nose: Grapefruit, lime zest, green apple, and a fresh herb note (think mint and cut grass).
• Taste: Citrus-forward and juicy, with green melon and a touch of passionfruit, plus mouth-watering acidity that keeps it tight and refreshing.
• Body: Light to medium-bodied, clean and energetic, not heavy or creamy.
• Finish: Dry, brisk, and lingering with citrus peel and a subtle grassy edge.

This is the bottle you grab when you want a white wine that doesn’t fade into the background. Sauvignon Blanc can go two ways, either flat and bland, or piercing and sour. This one hits the sweet spot, bright and focused, with enough flavour to keep you coming back.

The “Reserve” style here is all about extra depth without losing that classic Sauvignon Blanc zip. You get layered citrus and green fruit, but also those savoury, just-picked herb notes that make the glass feel fresh, not fruity for the sake of it.

It plays well with food because it’s got the acidity to cut through richer bites and the aromatics to hang with punchy flavours. Think lemony chicken, ceviche, sushi, goat cheese salads, or anything with herbs and a squeeze of lime.

It’s also a solid pick when you’re building a little “weeknight whites” rotation and want something reliable that still feels like a good find. Chile does Sauvignon Blanc with a confident, sunny snap, and this delivers that vibe in a very no-fuss way.

Fun Fact: Escudo Rojo was created in partnership with the Rothschild family, yes that Rothschild name from Bordeaux, bringing a bit of French winemaking know-how to Chilean fruit.
