Casas Patronales Chardonnay / Sauvignon Blanc is a Chilean white wine blend that pairs two familiar grape personalities into a balanced, approachable style. The blend showcases the brighter aromatics of Sauvignon Blanc alongside the rounder presence of Chardonnay, resulting in a medium-bodied expression designed for easy enjoyment.
The wine carries an alcohol level of 14%, which gives it a warm, structured core while still allowing lively fruit and fresh acidity to come forward on the palate. Aromas and flavours work together to create a clear, food-friendly white suited to everyday meals and relaxed gatherings.
On the glass you will find a pale to light straw colour with subtle greenish highlights, hinting at freshness and moderate intensity. The bouquet typically leans toward citrus and orchard fruit, complemented by green herbaceous notes and a soft textural element from the Chardonnay component.
This is presented as a versatile Chilean white; it is straightforward in style and aimed at drinkers who appreciate aromatic clarity, balanced body, and a persistent finish. As a Danpris selection, it fits well into a range of dining situations where a dependable, medium-bodied white wine is desired.
Tasting profile and structure
The nose offers clean citrus notes such as lemon and grapefruit, joined by pear and green apple that add a juicy core. Subtle herbal touches from the Sauvignon Blanc bring a hint of fresh-cut grass or nettle to the aromatic profile.
On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, showing a smooth mid-palate weight from the Chardonnay influence while retaining zesty acidity that keeps the finish lively. Textural balance is a key feature: enough body to feel satisfying, yet enough lift to maintain freshness.
Flavour progression moves from bright citrus and orchard fruit toward a mineral-tinged finish, with medium persistence. The wine’s structure supports food pairing rather than overwhelming it, offering grip and clarity rather than heavy oak or oxidative character.
Overall balance leans toward approachable and well-integrated, where fruit, acidity and alcohol sit in relative harmony to produce a versatile white wine experience.
Serving suggestions and food pairings
Serve chilled at around 10 °C to reveal the wine’s aromatic lift and refreshing acidity while keeping the mid-palate weight in check. A gentle chill enhances citrus and herbal notes without masking body.
This blend pairs naturally with white meats such as chicken and turkey, where its acidity can cut through richer preparations and its body complements roasted or grilled textures. It also works well with pork dishes, especially those that include fruit glazes, light sauces, or herb-forward seasoning.
Beyond meat pairings, the wine is flexible with vegetable-forward plates, light pasta dishes, and salads that include citrus or mild cheeses. Its medium body and crisp finish make it a practical choice for casual dining and shared plates.
For best enjoyment, try pouring into a tulip-shaped white wine glass to concentrate the aromas and support a balanced sip, then let the wine breathe briefly in the glass to allow layers of fruit and herb to unfold.
