✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
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.
