✨ Technical Specifications
The Don Maximiano Assortment Case is a curated showcase of Via Errazuriz's ultimate winemaking achievements, anchored by the legendary Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve. Named in honor of the estate's visionary founder who first planted French varieties in the Aconcagua Valley in 1870, this collection represents the pinnacle of Chilean fine wine. The grapes are sourced from the historic Max vineyards, where the vines thrive on colluvial soils under the dual cooling influences of the Pacific Ocean breezes and cold air descending from the Andes Mountains. This unique microclimate yields fruit of extraordinary concentration, structure, and acidity. The flagship blend is celebrated historically for its role in the landmark 2004 Berlin Tasting, where Errazuriz's icon wines famously outscored some of the most prestigious First Growth Bordeaux estates, permanently elevating Chile's status on the global wine stage.
