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.

As anestate winery, Errazuriz strives to produce the finest wines by controlling every stage of the process, fromgrape growing in the Aconcagua, Casablanca and Curico valleys, to harvesting by hand, to winemakingwith the most natural techniques. An emphasis is placed on delicate handling, with the aim of producingwines with elegance and complexity.
