✨ Technical Specifications
Villa Don Maximiano serves as an elegant introduction to the grand estate style of Viña Errázuriz, paying homage to the visionary founder, Don Maximiano Errázuriz, who established the estate in 1870. Sourced from the historic Max vineyards in the mid-section of the Aconcagua Valley, this red blend captures the unique synergy between the valley's warm, sun-drenched days and the cooling morning breezes rolling off the Pacific Ocean and down from the Andes. The soils here are predominantly colluvial with high stone content, forcing the vines to dig deep, which imparts a distinct mineral tension and structured complexity to the wine. Crafted with a modern sensibility, it undergoes careful oak aging to seamlessly integrate its fine-grained tannins while preserving the vibrant, fresh fruit character that defines the Aconcagua terroir.
🍾 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.
