Errazuriz Max Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard The grapes for our 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva come from our vineyards located in the Maipo and Aconcagua valleys. The Maipo Valley is known for the fresh morning breezes that blow from the mountains, and for the moderate day temperatures that allow the grapes to reach perfect ripeness preserving their acidity and freshness. One of the main factors that allow obtaining intense colours in the wines from this area is the large temperature oscillation. The alluvial soils are moderately fertile and have a stony profile that provides excellent drainage, producing a perfect balance of vegetative growth and fruit load. The Aconcagua Valley, on the other hand, is well known for its Mediterranean climate, with moderately warm summer days and fresh evening breezes, producing a daily temperature oscillation of around 20ºC in the weeks prior to harvest. This triggers high concentrations of polyphenols –anthocyanins- creating wines with great colour intensity. The soils of the vineyard are mainly of alluvial origin, formed by the Aconcagua River, and are generally well known for their good drainage
