✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the high-altitude terraces of the Aconcagua Valley, the Errazuriz Aconcagua Alto Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in mountain-influenced viticulture. The 'Alto' designation refers to the uppermost parcels of the historic Max vineyards, where vines are planted on steep, stony colluvial slopes. Here, the intense Chilean sun is balanced by cooling alpine breezes sweeping down from the Andes and maritime influences rolling in from the Pacific Ocean. This unique microclimate allows the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to undergo a long, slow ripening process, preserving vibrant acidity and developing remarkably fine, structured tannins. Traditionally aged in French oak barrels, this wine represents a modern, elegant expression of Chilean Cabernet, honoring the pioneering spirit of Don Maximiano Errazuriz who first recognized the valley's world-class potential in 1870.
