Errazuriz Max Reserva Chardonnay 2016

Displaying a very attractive bright yellow straw color, this Chardonnay offers a citrus profile with notes of tangerine, some pears and sweet cucumber -- all framed by soft notes reminiscent of toasted bread and dried fruits. Consistent with the nose, the palate shows pear notes, soft hints of toasted bread and dried fruits, with an aftertaste of fresh citrus notes. Great structure and balanced acidity add tension, providing excellent length to this Chardonnay.

Don Maximiano Errazuriz founded Vina Errazuriz in 1870 in the Aconcagua Valley, north of Santiago. This valley has cool, rainy winters, hot, dry summers and moist Pacific Ocean breezes--ideal for growing grapes. Don Maximiano sent for the finest clones from France and with tenacity and perseverance transformed this barren land into a world-class vineyard. Today, the tradition of quality lives on with Don Maximiano's descendant, Eduardo Chadwick--the fifth generation of his family to be involved in the wine business. Eduardo has overseen the modernization of the winemaking technology at this historic estate while maintaining a distinct identity for its wines, dedicated to producing estate grown wines of superior quality.
