Errazuriz Max Carmenere

Errazuriz Max Carmenère is a refined and deeply aromatic expression of Chile's signature varietal, sourced primarily from the estate's vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley. Following temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine typically undergoes about 12 months of maturation in French oak barrels, which softens its structure and adds layers of aromatic complexity. The nose presents a vibrant bouquet of ripe dark fruits like blackberry and plum, seamlessly integrated with Carmenère’s trademark savory notes of roasted red pepper, sweet paprika, and subtle undertones of dark chocolate, espresso, and toasted cedar. On the palate, it delivers a medium to full-bodied profile characterized by juicy fruit concentration, polished, fine-grained tannins, and a fresh acidity that provides excellent structural tension. Finishing with lingering notes of sweet spice and roasted herbs, this approachable yet elegant wine pairs beautifully with hearty roasted meats, savory stews, and mildly spiced dishes.
