✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of Don Maximiano Errázuriz, who founded the estate in 1870, the Max Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to the pioneering spirit that first planted vines in the Aconcagua Valley. This wine is sourced from premier estate vineyards where the warm, sunny days of the valley floor are beautifully balanced by cool afternoon breezes sweeping down from the Andes and inward from the Pacific Ocean. This unique microclimate allows the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving acidity while developing rich, complex flavors. The wine is typically aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, resulting in a classic Chilean Cabernet characterized by bright red and black fruit aromas, framed by elegant tannins, subtle notes of tobacco, and sweet spices.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1870 by Don Maximiano Errázuriz, Viña Errázuriz stands as one of Chile's most prestigious and historic wine estates, situated in the premier terroir of the Aconcagua Valley. Under the visionary stewardship of Eduardo Chadwick, the family-owned winery played a transformative role in demonstrating Chile's world-class winemaking pedigree to the international community, epitomized by the historic 2004 Berlin Tasting. Combining state-of-the-art sustainable viticulture with a deep reverence for the valley's distinct Andean and coastal microclimates, the estate is dedicated to crafting wines of exceptional elegance, structure, and aging potential. Errázuriz is renowned globally for its flagship icon cuvées, including Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve, Kai Carmenère, and La Cumbre Syrah, alongside its expressive Max Reserva line.
