Errazuriz THE BLEND Aconcagua Valley Chile
Description: This fruit-driven new blend, which bursts with ripe berries and black cherries flavours backed up by well-integrated French and American oak. Well-structured and perfectly balanced wine, full on the palate with lingering but supple tannins that finishes nicely with a touch of spices. Each of the four varieties used in this blend i.e. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sangiovese and Carmenère were carefully hand picked at their peak between early April and mid-May. All varieties were vinified separately with controlled temperatures and received daily pump-overs for a total maceration time of 20-30 days. The resulting wines were aged separately, and approximately two-thirds of the final blend was oak-aged, mostly in French oak barrels. The different fine grape varieties used in crafting The Blend wine were sourced from varied parcels of our Don Maximiano Estate located in the Aconcagua Valley, where hot summer days are cooled by afternoon breezes. The core components of The Blend wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. These two varieties come from vineyards planted on a 5º slope with gravely, sandy clay soils which drain very well. Both vineyards feature drip irrigation, high-density planting and vertical trellis systems. Sangiovese and Carmenère complement the blend. Sangiovese vines were planted in 1994 with mostly R24 clone, also called Sangiovese Piccolo, which features small berries and intense berry fruit characters. The Carmenère portion of the wine comes from a different parcel of the Estate, also located in the Aconcagua Valley. Canopy management is particularly important with this late-ripening variety, since sun exposure on the berries is critical for achieving the transition from strongly vegetal aromas to the rich, ripe, complex fruit that characterizes the best Carmenère.
