✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Aconcagua Valley, the Errazuriz Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant tribute to the pioneering spirit of Don Maximiano Errázuriz, who first planted French grape varieties here in 1870 despite widespread skepticism. The valley's unique geography—wedged between the towering Andes Mountains and the cool Pacific Ocean—creates a dramatic diurnal temperature swing that coaxes intense aromatics and balanced acidity from the grapes. This estate-grown bottling is crafted to capture the pure, bright fruit character of the region, showcasing classic notes of black cherry, cassis, and a signature touch of fresh mint. Gentle aging in French oak barrels adds subtle nuances of sweet spice and tobacco, resulting in a wine of remarkable structure, smooth tannins, and a refreshing finish that embodies the modern Chilean style.
