Errazuriz 2021 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Chile Red Wine 75 cl 13,5%

When Don Maximiano Errazuriz rode 100 kilometres north of Santiago in 1870 to plant vines in Panquehue, his philosophy was simple: from the best land comes the best wine. The Reserva range is the house's accessible entry point into that same philosophy.

Expert's Description

Errazuriz 2021 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a Red Wine from Chile made from Cabernet Sauvignon with an alcohol content of 13.5%. Vina Errazuriz was founded in 1870 in the Aconcagua Valley and, at its peak around 1890, was the largest vineyard in the world owned by a single individual. Since Eduardo Chadwick took over the house in 1983, Errazuriz has paved the way for Chilean fine wine internationally, with the flagship Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve as its most famous example. The Reserva range represents the house's more accessible, everyday tier, while still carrying the imprint of the same terroir philosophy.
