✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted as a tribute to the estate's visionary founder, Don Maximiano Errázuriz, this flagship cuvée represents the pinnacle of Cabernet Sauvignon-based blends from the Aconcagua Valley. Sourced primarily from the historic 'Max' vineyards, where the vines thrive on gravelly, colluvial soils under the cooling influence of Pacific breezes and Andean down-drafts, the wine is a masterclass in tension and elegance. It combines intense black fruit with savory complexity, structured tannins, and a vibrant acidity, aged for up to 22 months in French oak barrels. This monumental Chilean red has famously triumphed in international blind tastings, cementing Chile's place among the world's elite wine-producing regions.
🍾 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.
