✨ Technical Specifications
Errazuriz's Las Pizarras Pinot Noir represents a groundbreaking chapter in Chilean viticulture, born from a meticulous quest by winemaker Francisco Baettig and Eduardo Chadwick to map the unique metamorphic slate (pizarras) soils of the Aconcagua Costa estate. Located just 12 kilometers from the cold Pacific Ocean, this cool-climate vineyard is constantly swept by maritime breezes, which slows ripening and preserves vibrant acidity. The slate soils, rare in Chile, impart a distinct mineral tension and structural elegance to the wine, drawing comparisons to Burgundy's grandest crus. Crafted with minimal intervention, native yeasts, and gentle oak aging, this wine showcases a brilliant synthesis of New World purity and Old World restraint, redefining the global perception of Chilean Pinot Noir.
