✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool, ocean-swept vineyards of the Aconcagua region, Errazuriz's Wild Ferment Pinot Noir is a testament to the estate's pioneering spirit in coastal viticulture. By embracing spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts found naturally on the grape skins, this wine captures an authentic, unmanipulated expression of its terroir. The cool maritime breezes and morning mists slow down ripening, allowing the grapes to develop intense aromatic complexity while retaining vibrant acidity. The result is a Pinot Noir of remarkable purity, showcasing bright red berry fruit, subtle forest floor notes, and a beautifully textured, silky palate that reflects the wild, untamed nature of its coastal origin.
🍾 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.
