✨ 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.
