Viña Errázuriz was created in 1870 by visionary Don Maximiano Errázuriz who planted vines in the Aconcagua Valley, 90km from Santiago. The long Aconcagua Valley benefits from a Mediterranean climate with winter rainfall, access to water and coastal areas. This makes it unique for being able to grow a wide range of grape varieties from reds to whites that typically require a cooler climate. Today, the fifth generation of the Errazuriz family, Eduardo Chadwick Claro runs the company.
