Crafted to commemorate 150 years of winemaking excellence since Don Maximiano Errázuriz founded the estate in 1870, the Max 150 Aniversario Cabernet Franc is a tribute to the pioneering spirit of the Aconcagua Valley. Sourced from the estate's Max vineyards, where the vines benefit from the cooling morning breezes of the Pacific Ocean and the thermal mass of the Andes, this wine highlights the exceptional adaptability of Cabernet Franc to Aconcagua's gravelly, well-drained soils. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel before undergoing aging in French oak barrels. The result is a highly expressive red wine that balances the variety's signature herbal, tobacco, and graphite notes with bright red berry fruit, framed by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that reflects the valley's unique microclimate.
