Details
The Casa Bollen Sauvignon Blanc is a lovely combination of tropical fruit punch and zippy acidity, that will work on a hot day by the pool or in the kitchen while whipping up something delicious. There are some pineapple and passionfruit notes to start before the wine hits the sweetspot with some celery and herbal patterns.
Les Grands Chais is a company that is based in France although they have arms that spread across the modern world with wineries in operation in Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina as well as mainland Europe. Their approach is to source exceptional fruit and make modern styles of wines that will be well received. The Good Pair Days wine team were impressed with their Chilean brands, Casa Bollén and Viña Las Niñas as well as the sparkling wines from Baron D’Arignac. On first visiting Les Grands Chais, apart from being overawed with the amount of wines at our fingertips, the team found the wines to be made with a strong focus on quality and showcasing regionality in each bottle. They each have their own story to tell and whether you are a fan of classical styles or discovering something new, they have you covered. We are excited to bring these wines to Australian shores for the first time.

Pairing guide
When it comes to food-friendly whites we just can’t get enough of, few varieties compare to the iconic Sauvignon Blanc. It’s the perfect wine to pair with grilled oily fish - especially sardines - and white fish served with a lemon or herb dressing. Seafood ranging from crab, lobster, shellfish, sea urchin and squid will work beautifully, and it’s also great with simple chicken salads, green salads, and green vegetables with sheep’s cheese and olive oil. Divine!
