✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve represents the pinnacle of Viña Errázuriz's winemaking legacy, named in honor of Don Maximiano Errázuriz, who founded the estate in 1870. In an era when most Chilean vineyards were planted close to Santiago, Don Maximiano courageously traveled north on horseback to the untamed Aconcagua Valley, recognizing its extraordinary potential for premium viticulture. Sourced primarily from the historic Max vineyards, where colluvial soils and cool afternoon breezes from the Pacific Ocean create an ideal microclimate, this iconic blend is crafted to showcase world-class structure and elegance. The wine undergoes meticulous fermentation in stainless steel and is aged for 18 to 22 months in French oak barrels, resulting in a sophisticated, multi-layered masterpiece that helped put Chilean fine wine on the global map.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Viña Errázuriz blev grundlagt i 1870 af Don Maximiano Errázuriz og er en af Chiles mest prestigefyldte og historiske vingårde, beliggende i Aconcagua Valleys enestående terroir. Under Eduardo Chadwicks visionære lederskab har det familieejede vinhus spillet en afgørende rolle i at slå Chiles position fast på verdensscenen som en vinproducent i absolut topklasse – kulminerende med den historiske Berlin Tasting i 2004. Vingården forener banebrydende, bæredygtig vinavl med en dyb respekt for dalens særlige mikroklimaer, præget af både Andesbjergene og kystens indflydelse. Ambitionen er at skabe vine med exceptionel elegance, struktur og et stort lagringspotentiale. Errázuriz er verdenskendt for sine ikoniske flagskibscuvéer såsom Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve, Kai Carmenère og La Cumbre Syrah samt den udtryksfulde Max Reserva-serie.
