Errazuriz 'Carmenère', Estate Reserva 2022
Ideal valley
Don Maximiano Errázuriz founded Viña Errázuriz in 1870 in the 'Valle de Aconcagua', 100 km north of Chile's capital Santiago. He saw that this valley was ideal for growing grapes, rainy winters alternating with almost Mediterranean warm and dry summers with a cooling breeze from the Pacific Ocean.
The reference in Chile
Don Maximiano planted the finest grapes from France on the slopes of the Andes and with determination and perseverance he transformed this barren landscape into a world-class vineyard. With the production of top quality wines cultivated on its own estate, Errázuriz has built a reputation as THE reference in Chile.
Sublime wine
This sublime wine was composed of 89% Carmenère, 9% Petite Syrah and 2% Tempranillo grapes. It shows full flavoured aromas of forest fruits (raspberries, currants, blackberries), figs and refined notes of nutmeg and pepper. It was matured for 8 months in oak barrels, which gives this wine a soft and round mouthfeel in its long finish.
Gastronomy
Goes perfectly with cheeses and various meat dishes, such as lamb in a sauce preparation.
