A key player in Aconcagua and the family that really put this region on the map, Viña Errázuriz was founded in 1870 and continues to innovate today. While most of the portfolio is focused on rich mountain reds (with notable Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Syrah), the iconic Las Pizarras line of wines shows their increasing focus on cooler coastal sites in Aconcagua where slate soils offer the perfect site for complex yet refreshing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah.

Winemaker Francisco Baettig is also in charge of their excellent Seña wine. You can visit the handsome old cellar and state of the art winery in Panquehue, and stay for lunch with a special wine paired menu. A leader in Aconcagua.

About Viña Errázuriz

Viña Errázuriz winery was founded by Don Maximiano Errázuriz in 1870. With 150 years to its name, you might be forgiven for thinking Errazuriz is a historical winery – it is, but it is also one of the most innovative and forward-thinking producers in Chile. The wine portfolio is almost endless, but treasures include their Aconcagua Costa range, coming from the cooler parts of Aconcagua valley and their Las Pizzaras Chardonnay and Pinot Noir on slate soils.

Their most famous wine is, of course, Don Maximiano, a rich Cabernet-based blend from the warmer Aconcagua Andes. A visit to the winery is in two parts, the historic building and the modern winery. There is a blend of both past and present here, with state-of-the-art blending in with history and tradition. Stay for longer by booking in at their on-site restaurant.
