Casa Julia, Maule Valley Sauvignon Blanc, 2024
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
In the growing world of value-driven Sauvignon Blanc, Casa Julia stands out by keeping things clean, focused, and refreshingly low on flash. Grown in the cooler reaches of Chile’s Maule Valley, this wine is a far cry from the tropical, overly aromatic styles that dominate the category. Instead, it channels a more Old World personality—brisk, linear, and mineral-etched.
The 2024 vintage delivers a textbook expression: lime zest, green apple, and just a hint of fresh-cut herbs, wrapped in zippy acidity and a clean, stony finish. There’s no oak, no fluff—just bright fruit and saline lift, shaped by cool nights and sustainable farming.
If you like Touraine or entry-level Sancerre, this hits many of the same notes, but at a weekday price point. It’s a go-to for everything from sushi and ceviche to goat cheese and garden greens. Chill it down, pour generously, and don’t overthink it.
