✨ Technical Specifications
Viña Errázuriz’s Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of Chile's premier Aconcagua Valley. Don Maximiano Errázuriz founded the estate in 1870, recognizing that the valley's unique microclimate—characterized by hot, dry summers tempered by cooling Pacific breezes and cold air descending from the Andes—was ideal for classic Bordeaux varieties. This Reserva bottling captures the vibrant, fruit-forward essence of the valley. The grapes are sourced from estate vineyards where alluvial soils and excellent drainage yield concentrated berries. Fermented in stainless steel and aged partially in French oak barrels, the wine strikes a harmonious balance between rich black fruit flavors, subtle spice, and structured tannins, embodying the pioneering spirit of Chilean winemaking.
🍾 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.
