✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted to celebrate the historic milestone of Viña Errázuriz's 150th anniversary, the Max Sauvignon Blanc is a tribute to the pioneering spirit of founder Don Maximiano Errázuriz. Sourced from the cool-climate vineyards of Aconcagua Costa, located a mere 12 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean, this wine benefits from the chilly morning mists and maritime breezes that sweep across the valley. The vines thrive in complex soils of decomposed granite and metamorphic schist, imparting a distinctive mineral tension to the wine. Fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character, this Sauvignon Blanc showcases a brilliant expression of coastal Chile, marrying intense citrus and herbal notes with a crisp, refreshing salinity.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1870 by Don Maximiano Errázuriz, Viña Errázuriz is an architect of modern Chilean viticulture. Sited in the Aconcagua Valley, the estate traverses diverse mesoclimates, moving from warm, alluvial inland terraces framed by the Andes to cool-climate maritime slopes in Aconcagua Costa. Viticulture emphasizes precision farming certified under the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code. Errázuriz revolutionized Chile's global standing through the historic 2004 Berlin Tasting orchestrated by Eduardo Chadwick, alongside longtime Technical Director Francisco Baettig. While internationally revered for red icons, Errázuriz’s white wine program demonstrates profound terroir mastery, especially along the coastal schist soils of the Las Pizarras vineyard. Benchmark white expressions like Las Pizarras Chardonnay deliver striking mineral reduction, crystalline acidity, and tension, while the Max and Costa Sauvignon Blancs showcase vibrant, citrus-driven linear precision that highlights the estate's exceptional Pacific maritime influence.
