Product Notes

Errazuriz Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve is a prestigious Chilean wine that honours its winery's founder. Expressing a visual allure of deep crimson, this divine concoction reveals a finely balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. The nose is met with elegant notes of blackcurrant, cherry, plum, and a smoky hint of oak. The taste unfolds intense, rich fruit flavours balanced with plush tannins, resulting in an exquisitely smooth finish. Aged in French oak barrels, this vintage works brilliantly with gourmet dishes, leaving an indelible memory on one's palate. Its enchanting depth and complexity make it a wine connoisseur's treasured possession.

Tasting Notes

Of a beautiful ruby red color with violet highlights, the 2017 vintage of Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve captivates with aromas reminiscent of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries. Further back some nice notes of cocoa and clove appear, culminating with a slight oral hint that reminds of violets. Aligned with what is perceived on the nose, the palate offers cherries, raspberries and cassis flavors, plus the sweet 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
