The Errazuriz Wines [Other Wines TBA]
MAX, 2021: Max, named in honor of our founder, Don Maximiano Errázuriz, reflects the in-depth exploration carried out by Viña Errázuriz in the Aconcagua Valley and in other valleys, some of which are the best and most recognized valleys in Chile for producing each of the varieties that are sourced for these wines. As a result, these wines stand out for their nesse, elegance, freshness and delicious acidity, and as a result, it reflects each one of the valleys from where they come from.
KAI, 2018: Reflects the true expression of Carmenere, which is now considered to be Chile’s emblematic variety. KAI means “plant” in the language of the Mapuches, one of Chile’s original peoples. KAI is the finest Carmenere wine produced by Viña Errázuriz from its estates in the Aconcagua Valley.
