Errazuriz Las Pizarras Chardonnay 2021

“From the best land, the best wine.” - Don Maximiano

“Punchy minerals cut through the creamy lemon and limey citrus, almost like licking wet stones! Some green apples, too. Steely, with a hint of white flowers and white almond. Very transparent and vertical but this is not a typical full-bodied chardonnay, it is rather linear, tense and electric. Sharpened minerality lingers in a lengthy, mineral finish. An extremely gastronomic and mouthwatering chardonnay.” - James Suckling 98

About The Winery

Viña Errázuriz is one of Chile’s historic benchmark wineries, founded in 1870 by Don Maximiano Errázuriz Valdivieso. He was the first to introduce French grape varieties to the Aconcagua Valley, identifying its potential long before it became a leading wine region. The winery has remained family-owned since its founding and is now led by Eduardo Chadwick, a descendant of the founder, who represents the fifth generation and has played a key role in positioning Chile at the top tier of the global fine-wine scene.

The estate’s core is located in Panquehue, in the inland part of the Aconcagua Valley, but its vineyards extend across a wide geographic range, from Aconcagua Costa near the Pacific Ocean to warmer Andean foothill sites further inland. This “coast-to-Andes” approach gives Errázuriz access to markedly different climatic conditions: cool, ocean-influenced sites that preserve acidity and aromatic precision, and warmer inland areas that deliver structure and depth. Altitudes vary significantly, reinforcing freshness and site definition.

Soils mirror this diversity. Coastal vineyards are dominated by schist and metamorphic rock, particularly suited to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while inland and Andean sites feature alluvial soils with granite and clay, ideal for Bordeaux varieties. This precise matching of grape variety to site reflects the estate’s guiding principle: “from the best land, the best wine.”

Vinification 

In the cellar, Errázuriz combines historical heritage with modern infrastructure. The estate’s historic underground cellars coexist with a modern gravity-flow winery completed in 2010, designed for gentle handling of fruit and energy efficiency. Winemaking is site-driven rather than formulaic: fermentations and extraction are adapted to each variety and terroir, and oak is used with restraint to support structure without obscuring origin.

On the nose, this Chardonnay reveals refined aromas of citrus, green apple, and white peach, layered with notes of flint, toasted nuts, and subtle oak spice. The palate is precise, fresh, and beautifully balanced, offering flavors of lemon zest, pear, and gentle minerality supported by crisp acidity and a creamy texture. The finish is long, elegant, and refreshing, leaving lingering impressions of fruit and mineral character.

Best served well chilled, Las Pizarras Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, creamy pasta dishes, and soft cheeses. Its balance and finesse make it ideal for both special occasions and refined dining experiences.
