In the last few years, Errazuriz has become known as perhaps the single top quality producer of Chilean wines. Its wines were either the top-rated or shared the top rating in the last major Chilean reviews from the Wine Spectator, the Wine Advocate, and Tanzer.

Don Maximiano Errazuriz founded Viña Errazuriz in 1870 in the Aconcagua Valley, 65 miles north of the capital, Santiago. Recognizing that this valley, with its hot, dry summers and moist Pacific Ocean breezes, was 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. Eduardo is the fifth generation of his family to lead this exceptional estate, and his work has been colossal, bringing Errazuriz into a new era where it is acknowledged as a producer of world-class wines, and opened eyes around the globe as to Chile's incredible and diverse sites.

The Carmenère vineyard is planted on a north-west-facing 5º slope with gravelly, sandy clay soils which drain very well. The vineyard features drip irrigation, high-density planting and a vertical trellising system. Errazuriz' Carmenère Single Vineyard is every year one of the top Carmenère offerings from Chile, regardless of price.
