✨ Technical Specifications
Via Errzuriz's Estate Chardonnay captures the vibrant, maritime-influenced character of the Aconcagua Valley. Sourced from vineyards where cool afternoon breezes from the Pacific Ocean moderate the valley's warmth, this wine represents a modern Chilean approach to Chardonnay, balancing bright, fresh acidity with a delicate creaminess. Historically, Errzuriz was among the first to recognize the potential of the cooler, coastal zones of Aconcagua for white varieties. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented, with a portion undergoing aging in French oak barrels to add texture and complexity, while the remainder is kept in stainless steel to preserve the pure, expressive tropical and citrus fruit aromas.
