Recognizing that this valley, with its hot, dry summers and moist Pacific Oceanbreezes was ideal for growing grapes, Don Maximiano sent for the finest clones from France and withtenacity and perseverance transformed this barren land into a world-class vineyard. Today, the traditionof quality lives on with Eduardo Chadwick, the fifth generation of his family to lead this historic estate.Eduardo has overseen the modernization of its winemaking technology while maintaining a distinctidentity for its wines. Errazuriz has earned a reputation as one of the premier estates in Chile. Itsphilosophy is best expressed by Don Maximiano who said, From the best land, the best wine."
