Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve 2021 Vintage Overview

2021 OVERVIEW

Dark, polished fruit and a cool herbal streak define Errazuriz Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve 2021, with black cherry, plum and a hint of blood orange layered over cocoa, gentle spice and discreet new oak. The palate feels concentrated yet graceful, its fine, powdery tannins and mineral edge giving a sense of quiet power that builds rather than shouts, promising real complexity with time. A particularly refined and composed vintage that shows this classic Aconcagua blend at a very high level.

About Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve

Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve is Errázuriz’s flagship Aconcagua Valley red, a Cabernet Sauvignon–based Bordeaux-style blend that captures the estate’s warm, sun-bathed slopes tempered by cool Pacific breezes. Typically aged for almost two years in French oak, it is known for its polished structure, fine-grained tannins and vivid freshness framing layered cassis, dark plum and violet tones. Long celebrated as one of Chile’s benchmark icon wines, it aims for elegance and longevity rather than sheer power.
