Errazuriz, Las Pizarras Pinot Noir, Aconcagua 2021

Since its founding in 1870, Viña Errazuriz has had a singular vision: to produce world-class Chilean wines that rival the very best. This tradition of quality continues today under the leadership of Eduardo Chadwick. The Errazuriz Las Pizarras Pinot Noir is sourced entirely from the Viña Errazuriz Aconcagua Costa Estate and specifically from blocks that have a significant component of metamorphic rock including slate (pizarras, in Spanish). Las Pizarras Pinot Noir is vibrant, its aroma is full of raspberries, rosehips, myrtle and an interesting spicy character. A few minutes after pouring, the different layers begin to emerge. Distinct aromas of wet stone, sweet spice and earthy characters transporting one to the place itself. In the palate, the wine is complex and well structured, it is decidedly forward and with fine, elegant tannins that are defined by the slate and schist soils. A wine of great perseverance, with elegant tannins delivering a long and persistent finish.
