"A 100% Carmenere from the Max V vineyard, considered the estate's finest, a rare cuvée available in very limited quantities!"

“Errázuriz selects its finest Carmenere vineyards in Panquehue, in the heart of the Aconcagua Valley—planted on the terraces along the Aconcagua River—for this wine, its finest Carmenere. Aged for 22 months in barrels—60% of which are new—this wine shows no signs of the heat of the 2020 vintage. Instead of sweet, candied fruit, it offers ripe red fruit, light herbal notes, and a lively, firm texture supported by juicy acidity. A “new-school” Carmenere that strives to draw out the maximum freshness from the grape variety.” (Descorchados - Patricio Tapia 2023)

About the wine:

The nose features notes of tobacco leaf, spices, wild herbs, lavender, juniper, and white pepper, as well as red currant and black cherry. The palate is full-bodied and supple, with silky, juicy tannins and a long finish. Delicious and complex now, but it has aging potential.

About the wine:

Kai is a relatively little-known wine from Errázuriz, even though it has been part of the lineup since 2005. Aromas of violet and cut grass blend into a full-bodied, textured, and well-balanced palate, with flavors of plum and black cherry and harmonious oak integration. 2024–2030

Aged for 22 months in barrels—60% of which are new—this wine shows no signs of the heat of the 2020 vintage. Instead of sweet, candied fruit, it offers ripe red berries, subtle herbal notes, and a crisp, firm texture supported by juicy acidity. A “new school” Carmenere that strives to draw out the maximum freshness from the grape variety.
