✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1870 by Don Maximiano Errázuriz, Viña Errázuriz stands as one of Chile's most prestigious and historic wine estates, situated in the premier terroir of the Aconcagua Valley. Under the visionary stewardship of Eduardo Chadwick, the family-owned winery played a transformative role in demonstrating Chile's world-class winemaking pedigree to the international community, epitomized by the historic 2004 Berlin Tasting. Combining state-of-the-art sustainable viticulture with a deep reverence for the valley's distinct Andean and coastal microclimates, the estate is dedicated to crafting wines of exceptional elegance, structure, and aging potential. Errázuriz is renowned globally for its flagship icon cuvées, including Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve, Kai Carmenère, and La Cumbre Syrah, alongside its expressive Max Reserva line.
