Chilean white wines are known for their high quality and unique flavors. They are made from grape varieties well-known in Europe, such as Riesling, Albillo, Muscatel, and Cabernet Sauvignon. However, these grapes grown in Chile have developed a specific bouquet, giving Chilean white wine notes of peach jam, lime, bananas, apples, vanilla, and flowers. The taste of the wine is light and fresh with a pleasant, unobtrusive acidity.
The best Chilean white wines come from Santa Rita, Leon de Tarapaca, Vina Calitera, Gran Reserva, and Vina Carta Vieja. These wines pair well with fish, white meat, seafood, chicken, fresh and stewed vegetables, and cheeses.
