Don Maximiamo Founder’s Reserve

Viña Errazuriz is a Chilean wine estate located in the Aconcagua Valley. The estate was founded in 1870 by Don Maximiano Errazuriz who travelled on horseback out beyond established vineyard areas near Santiago to find the best possible terroir. By the time of the first release in 1873, the estate had over 300 hectares (740 acres) of vineyards. The company profile has been assured by a series of blind tastings, starting with The Berlin Tasting in 2004 of which pitched the company to great success against wines from notable Old World producers.

On the nose, this wine is complex and exhibits rich and ripe aromas of bramble, raspberry and black cherry along with notes of bay leaf, cedar and bittersweet chocolate. On the palate, its juicy and spicy, its supple texture supports ripe favors of red fruit and pastry notes. This wine’s fine-grained tannins provide a framework for the luscious fruit intensity in the finish and excellent persistence.
