its full and it was a long process to achieve

it, we had to study the terroir for many years

to understand it, go in depth in its di�erent

areas and challenges. Nowadays, we are

doing an honest interpretation of the place,

of what Chile is, and in speci�c, the

Aconcagua Valley.”

Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve¸ Viña Errázuriz’s

�agship wine had an outstanding participation in the

latest version of the guide with numerous recognitions.

In its version 2017, was awarded with 96 points,

reaching to be among the The Best Red Blends and

The Best of Aconcagua. With this extraordinary

2017 vintage Viña Errázuriz celebrates its 150 years

anniversary, the culmination of a history dedicated to a

philosophy of excellence and innovation.

“The extraordinary 2017 vintage of Don Maximiano

captivates with aromas reminiscent of red fruits such as

cherries and raspberries, and carefully complemented

with soft notes of cocoa and clove. Of a wide entrance,

it is a generous wine, with good tension and juiciness

that provide freshness, framed by mature tannins that

marvelously surround the mouth, along with a long

and very pleasant persistence.”
