Mahu Sauvignon Blanc

Mahu Sauvignon Blanc shows exactly why Chile has become a go-to source for high-quality, great-value white wine. The fruit comes from cool-climate vineyards in Maule and Casablanca, valleys influenced by the cold Humboldt Current that runs up the Pacific coast. That steady flow of ocean air keeps daytime temperatures in check and nights cool, preserving bright acidity and intensely fresh aromatics in the grapes.

Behind the label is winemaker Pablo Morandé, one of the pioneers who first planted vines in Casablanca and helped put Chilean Sauvignon Blanc on the world map. His focus here is on purity and precision: stainless-steel fermentation, temperature control, and careful handling to protect the grape’s natural expression rather than dressing it up with oak.

In the glass, Mahu Sauvignon Blanc is pale straw with green highlights. The nose opens with zesty lime and grapefruit, followed by passion fruit, ripe stone fruit, and green apple, layered over a gentle herbal note reminiscent of fresh-cut grass and basil. A subtle flinty edge adds complexity without ever feeling heavy or smoky.

On the palate, the wine is dry, medium-bodied, and driven by racy acidity. Citrus and tropical fruits lead the way, supported by a core of crisp orchard fruit. That saline, mineral streak from the cool coastal vineyards runs through the mid-palate and into a long, refreshing finish that invites another sip. It’s energetic and focused, but still approachable enough for casual weeknight drinking.

Mahu Sauvignon Blanc is tailor-made for food. Pour it alongside oysters, shrimp, ceviche, or simple grilled white fish. It’s equally happy with sushi, green salads, and dishes featuring goat cheese or fresh herbs. Thanks to its vibrant acidity and modest alcohol (around 12.5% ABV), it’s also an excellent choice as a pre-dinner glass on its own.

With its combination of coastal Chilean freshness, thoughtful winemaking, and everyday-friendly pricing, Mahu Sauvignon Blanc is an easy bottle to keep on hand, whether you’re stocking the fridge for seafood night or just want a reliable, crisp white ready to pour.
