With the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes Mountains to the east, we enjoy a Mediterranean climate which, together with our diverse soils, makes for unique viticultural conditions.
This gift of Mother Nature and the passion all of us in the Chilean wine industry share to produce world class wines are the key factors that have sustained the development of our wine industry in the last decade.
But we need to take every opportunity to tell the world what we have achieved. At Viña Errázuriz we believe it is essential to educate about Chile and to present our wines on the world stage in the company of the best there is.
Our aim at The Berlin Tasting was exactly this: to present Chile's ‘terroir’ in comparison with those of Bordeaux and Tuscany and then to show our best wines against the best from those regions.
In competing against the best there is always a risk but a valuable learning experience as well.
I am thrilled by the outcome of the tasting: honestly unexpected. But our wines seduced the tasters with their fruit, complexity and elegance.
And we came in first!”
