Errazuriz

"Viña Errázuriz was founded by Don Maximiano Errázuriz in 1870. With his great vision for the future and his innovative, pioneering spirit, Don Maximiano Errázuriz planted the first French grape varieties in the Aconcagua Valley. His initiative and creativity were handed down to future generations and, in just over a century, his descendants consolidated the winery and positioned their wines among the world’s most noteworthy.

Located just 90 kilometres north of Santiago, Chile’s capital, the traditional Aconcagua Valley is the last of the country’s transversal valleys. Its basin is shaped by the Aconcagua River, which flows from the Andes Mountain Range into the Pacific Ocean. The riverbanks are formed by alluvial and colluvial terraces, ideal for growing the finest grape varieties.

The valley’s mild Mediterranean climate, which features an extended dry season and rains concentrated mainly in winter, and the easy access to water for irrigation, as well as the volcanic and colluvial origin of its soils, make Aconcagua a real viticultural paradise. From the mountains to the coast, this has been the origin of many of the most renowned Chilean wines.

Errazuriz’s wines are popular at all price levels and the icon wines have gained particular acclaims. The wines also stand out in a series of blind tastings, where Errazuriz has achieved great success against wines from notable old world producers."
