✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool-climate Aconcagua Costa estate, located just 12 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean, the Errazuriz Costa Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to coastal viticulture. The vineyard is defined by its unique metamorphic soils, particularly schist, which is rare in Chile and infuses the wine with a distinct mineral, flinty edge. The cold Humboldt Current brings morning mists and cooling breezes that slow down grape ripening, preserving intense acidity and developing complex, vibrant citrus and herbal aromas. Hand-harvested and fermented primarily in stainless steel tanks, this wine showcases the pioneering spirit of Errazuriz as they pushed the boundaries of traditional Chilean winemaking toward the ocean's edge.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1870 by Don Maximiano Errázuriz, Viña Errázuriz is an architect of modern Chilean viticulture. Sited in the Aconcagua Valley, the estate traverses diverse mesoclimates, moving from warm, alluvial inland terraces framed by the Andes to cool-climate maritime slopes in Aconcagua Costa. Viticulture emphasizes precision farming certified under the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code. Errázuriz revolutionized Chile's global standing through the historic 2004 Berlin Tasting orchestrated by Eduardo Chadwick, alongside longtime Technical Director Francisco Baettig. While internationally revered for red icons, Errázuriz’s white wine program demonstrates profound terroir mastery, especially along the coastal schist soils of the Las Pizarras vineyard. Benchmark white expressions like Las Pizarras Chardonnay deliver striking mineral reduction, crystalline acidity, and tension, while the Max and Costa Sauvignon Blancs showcase vibrant, citrus-driven linear precision that highlights the estate's exceptional Pacific maritime influence.
