NEW - Errazuriz Las Pizarras Syrah 2021, Aconcagua Costa, Chile Las Pizarras is one of the most innovative projects in recent years, with a great sense of origin and pioneers in adopting a philosophy based on the terroir from Aconcagua Costa. Years of knowledge and mapping the vineyard revealed specifics blocks to produce the most complete and complex Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. The name comes from the high percentage of metamorphic rock, specifically slate (“pizarras” in Spanish) found in the property. The Vintage This season was a bit colder than average, which allowed the grapes to ripen slowly, evenly, and with the tremendous quality that enabled us to make fresher, more elegant wines with great aromatic intensity and colour.  The Vineyard The grapes used to produce this wine come entirely from our Aconcagua Costa estate, from specific plots with metamorphic rock, specifically slate. The temperature differences in this cold climate location and the uniqueness of its soils and elevations enable each small plot to ripen at its own pace. Because of its proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean and its well-drained soils with abundant slate, this vineyard gives rise to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah with exceptional complexity, depth, minerality and natural acidity. Winemaking The grapes were hand-picked from March 12th to April 13th and carefully selected. 30% was fermented whole cluster to enhance complexity on the nose and structure on the palate. The wine spent 8 to 20 days in contact with its skins, depending on the level of extraction desired before fermentation was completed in barrels. Once fermentation was finished, the wine was racked from the lees and then oak-aged for 12 months, 15% in French oak barrels (7% of them new) and 85% in Stockinger foudres. The Wine “Las Pizarras Syrah 2021 has a deep and intense violet colour. A lot of black fruit such as black cherries and blueberries, subtle notes of black olives and violet floral tone. The palate displays an intense and vertical initial acidity that provides great freshness. Fresh black fruit such as blueberry, blackberry, and Chilean wineberry (maqui). Mild spicy cinnamon-like notes and a smooth tobacco finish. Fine, elegant tannins reflect a smooth wine with good structure and an acidity that lends tension and juiciness to the whole.” Francisco Baettig, Technical Director. Best enjoyed with hearty meats for a luxurious, satisfying experience. Drinking WIndow 2025-2031 |
