Besoain Los Morros Sauvignon Blanc – Youthful, playful Sauvignon Blanc from the Central Valley

The name LOS MORROS, or “the hills”, comes from the rolling hills of Chile’s central valley. In this special, mountainous terroir, winemaker Miguel Besoain produces artisanal wines using only the highest quality grapes.

The region’s climate is mild Mediterranean with an increase in rainfall the further south you go. However, the wine-growing conditions are very special in the longitudinal valleys along the Andes and the coastal mountain range, the “Cordillera de la Costa”. To take this into account, the designations “Andes”, “Between the Cordilleras” and “Coast” have been introduced here. The microclimate in these zones is very different. This applies not only to the amount of rainfall and humidity, but especially to the temperature fluctuations of up to 15 °C in summer.

The Besoain Los Morros Sauvignon Blanc seduces with a haunting aroma of lychee, peach and passion fruit, accompanied by spicy flavours of white pepper and ginger. Subtle mineral tones are added. On the palate, this Chilean Sauvignon Blanc is refreshing and very juicy, with an animating, delicate acidity and good structure. A white wine from Chile full of character, playful, very typical of the variety and with a long finish.

Perfect Pairings: Unveiling Culinary Companions for the Los Morros Sauvignon Blanc from Besoain Wines

Try the Besoain Los Morros Sauvignon Blanc with fresh seafood and fish. This is a classic combination. Oysters, mussels, crab, prawns or grilled fish go well with this type of wine. The acidity of the wine can balance the seafood and the fruity flavours complement the delicate sea flavours. The fruity acidity of the wine can enhance the delicate fish flavours in sushi and sashimi and provide a refreshing combination.

Dishes prepared with citrus fruits also harmonise well with the fruity acidity of Chilean wine. This could be lemon chicken, grilled salmon fillets with lemon butter or prawns in a citrus marinade. The herbaceous notes of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc go well with asparagus. A simple preparation method such as steamed asparagus with a little lemon juice and parmesan can work wonderfully.

Green vegetables such as green beans, peas, spinach or broccoli can harmonise well with the Besoain Los Morros Sauvignon Blanc. The flavours complement each other and the acidity of the wine can emphasise the freshness of the vegetables. Sauvignon Blanc and goat’s cheese are a classic combination. The grassy and fruity flavours of the wine go perfectly with the characteristic taste of goat’s cheese. A salad with goat’s cheese or a cheese platter are good options.

Also light, summery salads with fresh herbs, tomatoes, cucumber and a light-coloured dressing. They can go well with this Chilean Sauvignon Blanc from the Maipo Valley. The fresh flavours complement each other perfectly. Grilled chicken, turkey breast or chicken salads with fresh herbs are also suitable accompaniments for this style of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.

We can also imagine pasta dishes with light-coloured sauces such as pesto, tomato sauce or lemon butter. Sauvignon Blanc from Chile has also proved to be a great accompaniment to summer starters such as Caprese salad (tomato, mozzarella, basil), bruschetta or gazpacho.
