Discover all the wines from Tres Palacios

ABOUT THE WINE

If you're looking for a premium Chilean Sauvignon Blanc that overdelivers on quality, the 2021 Gran Reserve from Tres Palacios is a must-try. A family-owned winery founded in 1996 by Don Patricio Palacios and Maria Inés Covarrubias, Tres Palacios is located in the Cholqui Valley, a unique site tucked away in the Maipo Valley. Protected from extreme temperatures, this terroir allows for slow, even ripening — resulting in wines of great purity, freshness, and balance.

The vineyard’s volcanic-like setting and maritime influence give this Sauvignon Blanc its distinctive character, combining lively fruit, mineral tension, and exceptional ageing potential — a rare quality at this price point.

TASTING NOTES

Pale yellow with green reflections, this wine is fresh, vibrant, and mouth-wateringly crisp. Expect notes of grapefruit, lime zest, and a subtle saline minerality that brings lift and length. Balanced acidity and a clean, persistent finish make this an irresistibly drinkable Sauvignon Blanc — as enjoyable today as it will be over the next 5–8 years.

FOOD PAIRING

A perfect apéritif, but also superb with seafood, grilled prawns, citrus-dressed salads, or light white meats. Try it with goat cheese crostini or a ceviche starter for maximum impact.

FRIARWOOD SAYS

We’re big fans of this wine — it’s everything you want from a cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc: zippy, structured, and utterly refreshing. One of the best-value white wines on our shelves, and a brilliant alternative to Sancerre or Marlborough.
