The 2016 vintage of Don Maximiano is a year in which you can truly appreciate what a cool growing season means for the wine. The result is a unique and captivating wine with strikingly perfect balance and elegance. Inspired by the classic Bordeaux tradition, Err\u00e1zuriz enhances the wine\u2019s complexity by adding a small proportion of Cabernet Franc and Merlot to the Cabernet Sauvignon.<\/p>\n
Beautiful aromas of roasted coffee beans, cocoa and blackcurrant intertwine with notes of fresh cranberries and cherry pie. On the palate, intense red cherries, blackberries and blueberries dominate in a wonderfully inviting wine. Great tension and concentration with fine tannins and a fantastic balance that marks a wine with remarkable potential.<\/p>\n
97 POINTS<\/strong> 96 POINTS<\/strong> 93 POINTS<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s an ultra classical Aconcagua Cabernet-based blend with good ripeness while keeping the freshness, and it has generous oak that does not overwhelm but makes the wine softer and spicier. It has some fine-grained, slightly dusty tannins.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n 92 POINTS<\/strong> 91 POINTS<\/strong> 91 POINTS<\/strong> 90 POINTS<\/strong> Since 1870, Vi\u00f1a Err\u00e1zuriz has been at the forefront of Chilean wine production, founded by the visionary Don Maximiano Err\u00e1zuriz in the Aconcagua Valley. Here family heritage, innovation and sustainability come together to create wines that delight wine lovers all over the world. While most Chilean vineyards were still being planted close to the capital, Santiago, Don Maximiano looked further north. After travelling 100 kilometres on horseback over two days, he discovered the Aconcagua Valley. There he declared that \u201cfrom the best land, the best wine shall come.\u201d That vision is still alive more than 150 years later.<\/p>\n The Chileans made history in 2004 when Vi\u00f1a Err\u00e1zuriz, at a now famous blind tasting, stood out in competition with some of the most prestigious wines from Italy and France. Don Maximiano Founder\u2019s Reserve and KAI secured top positions. This milestone was followed by a series of 22 international tastings that demonstrated the consistency and outstanding quality of Chilean wine on the global stage.<\/p>\n At Vi\u00f1a Err\u00e1zuriz a wide palette of grape varieties is grown, each carefully chosen to express the unique terroir. From powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, elegant Pinot Noir and full-bodied Shiraz to complex Malbec and the distinctive Chilean signature grape Carmenere, their red wines offer exceptional depth and character.<\/p>\n White wines such as vibrant Sauvignon Blanc and harmonious Chardonnay showcase the estate\u2019s ability to deliver both liveliness and finesse. This versatility has cemented Vi\u00f1a Err\u00e1zuriz as one of the world\u2019s most renowned wine producers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aconcagua Valley – Chile<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":51407,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2789,2799],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-51297","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-wine","7":"product_cat-red-wine","8":"pa_aargang-2013-en","9":"pa_drue-cabernet-sauvignon-en","10":"pa_drue-carmenere-en","11":"pa_drue-malbec-en","12":"pa_drue-petit-verdot-en","13":"pa_land-chile-en","14":"pa_procent-14-en","15":"pa_producent-vina-errazuriz-en","16":"pa_region-aconcagua-valley-en","17":"pa_serveringstemperatur-17-18-en","18":"pa_volume-75-en","20":"first","21":"instock","22":"taxable","23":"shipping-taxable","24":"purchasable","25":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/51297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=51297"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=51297"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=51297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\u201cNoble, almost Bordeaux-like on the nose with nuances of dark berries, cedar wood, plum and cocoa-rich chocolate. On the palate there is a striking lightness. Here there is far more finesse than power, and the distinct notes of blackcurrant and blueberry fruit give the wine at once a discreet sweetness and a noticeable acidity. It does not quite reach the level of the greatest crus in Bordeaux, but it comes close.\u201d<\/p>\n
