Errazuriz's Estate Shiraz showcases the remarkable adaptability of the Syrah grape to the diverse microclimates of Chile's Aconcagua Valley. While Don Maximiano Errázuriz founded the estate in 1870 with classic Bordeaux varieties, the introduction of Shiraz in the late 20th century marked a modern revolution for the winery. Sourced from estate vineyards where warm, sunny days are tempered by cool afternoon breezes sweeping down from the Andes and in from the Pacific Ocean, this wine is crafted to emphasize fresh fruit character and varietal purity. Fermented in stainless steel and aged partially in French and American oak barrels, it bridges the gap between Old World savory complexity and New World fruit intensity, offering notes of ripe blackberries, cracked black pepper, and subtle sweet spice.
