Viña Errázuriz, founded in 1870 by the visionary Don Maximiano Errázuriz, has long been a pioneer in Chile's Aconcagua Valley. Their Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to the valley's unique microclimate, where cold Pacific breezes and alpine air from the Andes create ideal conditions for late-season grape ripening. Left on the vine well into autumn, the Sauvignon Blanc grapes undergo a natural concentration of sugars, often kissed by the elusive Botrytis cinerea (noble rot) encouraged by morning mists. The resulting wine is a luscious, golden nectar that masterfully balances intense sweetness with the grape's signature vibrant acidity, offering complex aromas of honey, apricot, and citrus peel.
