A nice bouquet of red cherries, ripe raspberries and fresh strawberries welcomes you. When you taste, you will hopefully pick up some of the same notes in a soft and very finely rounded wine with a long and fresh finish.

“A BEAUTIFUL GLASS WHERE YOU REALLY GET A LOT OF ROSE FOR YOUR MONEY”
From Italy to South America, where a little story is included: One of the first wines I tasted at the better and higher end of the scale was precisely Errazuriz, which really opened up a new world of wine for me. Their rosé is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec and has a wonderful aroma of cherry, strawberry, grape, rhubarb and melon. In the mouth it is mouth-watering and smooth, where you sense plenty of polished fruit and a light acidity. A beautiful glass where you really get a lot of rosé for the money. The ultimate rosé guide One of the houses that I really like.

“A EASY-LIVING AND FESTIVE ROSÉ”
With a decidedly pink color, a festive glass is planned, and it keeps what it promises. Flowery and aromatic, tart and fresh, reductive and lively. A light-hearted and festive rosé.

“SOFT, ROUND AND FULL”
In the nose you find red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, cherries and a fresh mineral note. In the taste you will find sweet fruits, strawberries, a taste of sweet candies and a light acid bite. An almost pink rosé with a rather sweet taste, very soft, round and full and with a little acidity to freshen things up. A very easy-drinking rosé that doesn’t make a big deal out of itself.

“CROWD PLEASER”
Discreet nose with blackcurrant scent as in black English wine gum. Well made, crisp mouth with medium body and balanced acidity. Crowd pleaser for the first terrace days.
About Viña Errazuriz
It was the famous Don Maximiano Errázuriz who founded Viña Errázuriz in 1870. With great visions for the future and his innovative ideas, he planted the first French grape varieties in the Aconcagua Valley. In addition to the great vinous involvement, Errázuriz was also a politician and diplomat. He was born in Santiago in 1832, into a family of Basque origin that came to Chile in 1735. Since then, two members of the family have been presidents, two have been archbishops of Santiago and others have been diplomats, writers and businessmen who have contributed to the development of Chile. His great work was handed down to future generations in the family, and in just over a century his descendants consolidated the winery and placed their wines among the absolute best in the entire continent of South America. Today, Viña Errazuriz is therefore world famous for wines of very high quality.
Environmentally conscious world class
Viña Errazuriz is environmentally aware and future-oriented. In 2008, it was the first Chilean winery to introduce lightweight bottles to reduce CO2 emissions during both production and transport. Errazuriz also practices sustainable wine production, and the fields are cultivated organically as much as possible. The crowning achievement is – so far – the inauguration in 2010 of the new sustainable winery, Don Maximiano Icon Winery, in the Aconcagua Valley, as well as the official approval in 2011 as a sustainable company.
Roughly speaking, Errazuriz divides its wines into four categories
Estate Reserva: The basis of the house, where the quality is already far ahead of other Chilean wine houses’ “luxury editions”.
Reserva: From specially selected fields. A further development of the Estate Reserva wines, often with slightly longer/intense barrel ageing. Including i.a. the popular Max Reserva series.
Specialties: E.g. Single Vineyard, Wild Fermented, Organic and Late Harvest
Icon wines: Like Viñedo Chadwick, Seña, Founder’s Reserve and KAI. Belongs not only to the Chilean wine elite, but also to the world elite.
