MEdelmann Says: The "Don Maximiano" vineyard is located just behind the winery. It is a unique vineyard in Chile. Unique, because it is planted on a slope. All the other wineries in Chile has planted their vineyards in plains only ....In normal cases vineyards are planted only in the plains...

If you ever have to chance to visit Err?zuriz, then don?t forget to watch the old arched caves. They are very beautiful and you can knock on the many, many barrels ... But do that if nobody is watching you...
Why I put it in the "Nightlife spot". It is unusual dark there and the lighting is poor. Seems that it is as old as the cave ....

Dress Code:
It will be no good idea to put on a white smoking, because it is a little bit dirty there. Better take a pullover ....

We were really surprised as we saw the austrian national flag (it is the red-white-red one) next to chilenian national flag and the flag of the winery. They hoisted especially for us. What a kind gesture!
Simply click on the picture to see them better ... it is always interesting to discover things like that.

If you walk through the arched caves, they will also show you the cave where the "Sena" is stored. "Sena" is a brand name of the chilenian top wine made by Errázuriz in cooperation with Mondavi. It looks nice too, but there are not so much barrels. The wine is limited .... and by the way the lighting is also better there.
Prices of the "Sena" a rather high, they go up to 70 € / US$

The landscape in the surroundings
MEdelmann Says: The surrounded landscape is also very beautiful. It was much nicer here than in the wine regions south of Santiago. The climate here is very influenced by the near Andes. This means that cool air comes down and makes it a little bit more enjoyable.So the plants don't dry as...

MEdelmann Says: This is picture of a Errázuriz vineyard. It was interesting that they planted roses between the vines. First I do not know why they do it, but now I know it.The roses are used as a warning system. Roses are very sensitive on insects and other illnesses and when the vintner...
MEdelmann Says: This is the same building but inside. In former days all the wine casks and barrels stand here and the wine was produced and stored at this place.Today it is a big hall which is used for different events. There are arranged parties and balls, and they also rent it to people...
