This easy summer dinner recipe is a flavor powerhouse! I paired this deliciously spiced, grilled scallop recipe with Santa Rita wines, one of Chile’s most admired and innovative wine estates. Superb quality and craftsmanship are the hallmarks of Santa Rita. The “120” series of wines was named after the historic event in which 120 soldiers took refuge in Santa Rita’s cellars in 1814 during Chile’s war for independence.

These wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures and bottled early to preserve each variety’s fruitiness and natural aromas. The 120 wines are young, fresh and fruity, elegant and perfectly balanced with good acidity. Their exceptional value makes them an outstanding choice for accompanying everyday meals like these Cumin Grilled Scallops with Tomato Mango Salsa & Tomatillo Guacamole.

The Santa Rita 120 Sauvignon Blanc has nuances of citrus fruit and white peach, supported by a zesty acidity and smooth texture that lingers on the palate which was the perfect pairing for this meal. My husband and I both enjoyed it! More of a red wine lover?

Santa Rita 120 Hero’s Salute Red Blend will be right up your alley. This blend of Cabernet Franc, Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep, dark ruby-red color that features blueberry and plum aromas along with spices and vanilla, coffee and tobacco notes from the barrel-aging. The palate has a sweet evolution, with good volume, depth, and a fruity finish that leaves a refreshing mouthfeel.
So be sure to fire up the grill and make these Cumin Grilled Scallops with Tomato Mango Salsa & Tomatillo Guacamole and be sure to pick up a bottle of Santa Rita wine to enjoy as you dine out on the deck in the setting warm summer sun.

  • I’m so happy you like this Elva! It’s really a fantastic summer recipe. I’m not sure where you live but I know in the Northeast you can find Badia seasonings at Walmart, Kmart, Shoprite, Sam’s Club, Wegmans, Stop & Shop, Harris Teeter and more! Most major grocery stores seem to carry it. Hope this helps!
