Sour black cherries, violets and a touch of peppercorns and chaparral. Really fresh and crunchy with al-dente fruit and tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Freshness is the key here, and there seems to be more fruit in this vintage. Drinkable now, but better from 2025.

This is a selection of 2 plots in the Errázuriz vineyard in the westernmost area of the Aconcagua Valley, about 12 kilometers in a straight line from the sea. And that cold influence is felt in the meaty and spicy aromas, the tones of herbs and ripe and sweet black fruits. The palate is firm in acidity, tense in tannins and with flavors of ripe black fruits that project to the end of the palate in a large, opulent wine, but at the same time with a good tannic structure that provides balance.
Notes
Among the most striking places on the planet, the Aconcagua Valley is proving itself as an exceptionally dynamic terroir in the heart of the Andes 90 kilometres north of Santiago. Producing intense wines with laser-like focus and clarity, Errazuriz has managed to produce wines from these slate-dominated, desert-like soils which represent a compelling New World alternative to Grand Cru Burgundy.
