Producer Profile – Santa Rita
Founded in 1880 in the Maipo Valley, Santa Rita is one of Chile’s oldest and most esteemed wineries. The brand is internationally recognised for its quality wines and historic ties to Chile’s fight for independence. The 120 range was named in honour of 120 Chilean patriots who were given refuge at the Santa Rita estate—a proud piece of Chilean history reflected in the spirit of this range.
Today, Santa Rita is a leader in sustainable winemaking, holding environmental certifications and winning awards for both environmental responsibility and wine quality. The winery has earned accolades from global competitions such as Decanter, IWSC, and Mundus Vini. With a presence in over 70 countries, Santa Rita is a go-to name for quality Chilean wine in the Wine Dublin Ireland scene and beyond.
The Santa Rita 120 Sauvignon Blanc brings all the vibrancy of the variety with a modern Chilean twist—flavourful, zesty, and consistently enjoyable.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale straw-yellow with subtle greenish tints; clean, clear, and bright in the glass.
Aroma: Bursting with tropical fruits—passionfruit, grapefruit, lime peel—and herbaceous hints of fresh-cut grass and green pepper.
Flavour: Lively and zesty on the palate, with layers of citrus fruit, gooseberry, and a touch of minerality. There’s a vibrant streak of acidity that makes it especially refreshing.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied and crisp with a clean, dry finish. It’s a straightforward, vibrant wine that’s easy to enjoy with or without food.
Food Pairing
The crisp acidity and tropical character of Santa Rita 120 Sauvignon Blanc make it an excellent food-pairing wine. It’s ideal for fresh, vibrant dishes—think grilled fish tacos with lime crema, ceviche, or pan-seared prawns. The wine’s citrus-driven profile also works beautifully with shellfish such as mussels or crab.
Light poultry dishes, like lemon-herb roast chicken or turkey salad, are lifted by the wine’s brightness. It’s also a go-to with tangy cheeses like goat’s cheese or feta, especially when paired with salads or vegetable tartlets.
For vegetarian dishes, try pairing with asparagus risotto, herby couscous, or a crunchy green salad with vinaigrette. The wine’s herbal undertones and citrus lift are a dream with light Mediterranean fare.
It also shines as an aperitif—refreshing, palate-cleansing, and universally appealing. Whether you’re planning a relaxed evening or just browsing for wine delivery Dublin, this bottle ticks all the right boxes.
