Viña Errázuriz releases the new 2022 vintage of Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve

In a long-awaited debut, Viña Errázuriz has announced the release of the 2022 vintage of its flagship wine, Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve, a label that honours the legacy of the founder and pioneer of Chile's iconic wines. This exceptional wine has been created under the meticulous guidance of head winemaker Tomás Muñoz, who highlights the dedication behind each bottle.

The 2022 vintage was characterised by warmer weather and below-average rainfall, which presented some challenges. However, thanks to winter irrigation and the influence of sea breezes, the vineyards remained healthy and balanced. The result was a vintage of wines with deep colour, ripe tannins and vibrant acidity, giving freshness and elegance. The proximity of the Pacific Ocean contributed to the concentrated structure, intense violet tones and a complex, refined and elegant profile.

It has already received international acclaim, scoring 97 points from James Suckling and 96 points from Descorchados. It is expected to receive further accolades from other leading publications such as Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate and Tim Atkin MW in the coming months.

The launch reaffirms Viña Errazuriz's commitment to quality and excellence and consolidates its position as a global industry benchmark.
