Product Notes

Errazuriz Las Pizarras Pinot Noir is a high-end wine that is known for its delicate yet complex flavor profile. This wine is produced from grapes that are grown on the stony soils of the Aconcagua Costa region in Chile. The vineyard is located in a cool climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and retain their acidity, resulting in a wine with balanced fruit and acidity. The grapes are hand-picked, and the wine is aged for 14-16 months in French oak barrels. The result is a wine with aromas of black cherry, vanilla, and spice, complemented by flavors of black fruit, earthy undertones, and a long, lingering finish. This wine is a great option for those seeking a fine Pinot Noir that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals.

Tasting Notes

Complex nose, with rosehip, myrtle, sour cherries and a refreshing bergamot hint, accompanied by soft notes of marzipan and dried fruit notes. The palate is predominantly marked by fresh red fruit, floral notes, with some subtle notes of moist soil, citrus fruits, sweet spice and brioche. Very well structured, with fine and elegant tannins that deliver a chalky finish. A wine that displays a balance between amplitude and length that allows a harmonious and persistent finish.

About the Winery

When you make a list of some of the best Chilean wines, Errazuriz is sure to feature in it. Founded in 1870, this wine label has been making wines that are true to the terroir found in the place of its origin – Aconcagua Valley in Chile. Don Maximiano Errazuriz, the founder of this label planted the first French vines in this region to make innovative and stylish Chilean wines. Today, his descendants have made Errazuriz one of the most sought-after Chilean wines.

The Errazuriz Winery, constructed in 1870, is an architectural marvel, in itself. It took around 14 years to complete this winery construction because it made use of some of the most advanced engineering technologies of that time. The underground cellars have some unique features like brick walls. The mortar for the walls was made using a paste of egg whites and sand. More than a century later, the winery still stands strong and is in use today. Massive barrels are used to store the wine here at a temperature of 12 to 14 degrees Celsius at all times.

In 2009, the company set up a new winery, Don Maximiano Icon Winery, to house some of its highest quality of wines. The winery is known for its completely submerged body and its spiral shape. Thanks to the spiral shape, the fruits and juices move to the next stages with the help of natural gravity here. Another interesting fact about this new winery is that it is completely safe for the environment as it uses geothermal and solar energies for its temperature and light settings.

This place boasts a maximum production capacity of 347,000litres. The bleached concrete construction is a sight to behold, indeed! This winery's inauguration happened in 2010, with over 100 guests in attendance, and these included press and wine connoisseurs worldwide.
