For hundreds of years, the only grapes grown in the Elqui Valley were used for the nation’s most popular spirit, Pisco, a yellowish Brandy made from fermented grape juice. It wasn’t until the early 2000’s that the Oliver Family came in and started Viña Mayu, eager to prove that the region’s unique weather patterns with chalky limestone and clay soils would actually be perfect for some varietals: specifically Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc.
The best part of Chilean wines? The price tags they still carry. With lively, sophisticated Sauvignon Blancs, this is the type of quality that commands $25+/btl in the States for domestic Sauv Blancs, and has even gone above $20 for a lot of the bottles out of Marlborough, NZ. But today, we’re right in the sweet spot- with a $15/btl of delicious Sauvignon Blanc, down to just $13.50/btl on cases.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called 2019, “a very good vintage overall in Chile” and honed in on Vina Mayu in particular. The winery earned several 90+ scores for their 2019s including an excellent 90pt review for this beauty. That’s a strong vote of confidence for a little known producer in an unheralded region that with wines this good, will not be flying under the radar much longer.

The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc has a pungent nose with notes of green peppercorns and green beans, intensely herbal, with the characteristic lightness of the northern wines and high altitude. This has the influence of the coast and has a somewhat salty aftertaste, pungent flavors and a refreshing mouthfeel.
For the first time ever (I’ve been trying for 5 years), we got our hands on Sea Smoke’s elusive, exclusive and exquisite Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay, the famous cool climate Chard that helped propel this tiny winery into the elite stratosphere and cult status. Made with Dijon and Wente clones, they use stainless steel as well as French oak foudres and demi-muids to ferment their Chard, producing and elegant and laser focused Chardonnay.
For those of you looking for a semi-dry Riesling to pair with seafood, salads, pastas or poultry, you don’t have to look any further. Ratzenberger is a benchmark in the region and their consistency in making expressive, classy Riesling continues with the newly released 2019 Kabintt Feinherb. It manages to bring to the table savory, sweet and tangy acidic notes. It’s a versatile bottle of white, that’s for sure.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadlle, then you know why. The 2020 vintage has just arrived, and it’s a fantastic vintage in Bordeaux for energetic whites. This is world-class, as always.
93 Points, Tasting Panel
“A debut variety for this label. Stainless steel fermented and aged for five months, it was pressed whole cluster, crémant style which resulted in fine acidity and an inner sunshine. Its just-sliced lemon- fresh nose sends one to a perfectly balanced palate. Melon, guava, and banana are glossy and clean. The stony mid-to-finish leaves a trace of terroir on the tongue.”
