This exclusive assortment case celebrates the legacy of Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve, the flagship cuvée of Viña Errázuriz, by bringing together three landmark vintages: 1984, 1990, and 2006. Sourced from the historic Max vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley, where the warm valley floor is cooled by maritime breezes, this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend showcases the remarkable aging potential of Chilean terroir. The 1984 vintage represents a classic, old-school era of structure and restraint; the 1990 vintage captures a powerful, concentrated expression from a period of transition; and the 2006 vintage highlights modern precision, incorporating complementary varieties like Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Syrah. Together, they tell the story of Errázuriz's pursuit of world-class elegance.
