The Best of Aconcagua. With this extraordinary
2017 vintage Viña Errázuriz celebrates its 150 years

“The extraordinary 2017 vintage of Don Maximiano
captivates with aromas reminiscent of red fruits such as
cherries and raspberries, and carefully complemented
with soft notes of cocoa and clove. Of a wide entrance,
it is a generous wine, with good tension and juiciness
that provide freshness, framed by mature tannins that
marvelously surround the mouth, along with a long
and very pleasant persistence.”
