At the western end of the Aconcagua Valley, about 12 kilometers in a straight line from the Pacific Ocean, Errázuriz obtains its best pinot noir and its best chardonnay for the Las Pizarras line, which has been in production since 2014. These are slate soils that deliver wines with a lot of character. Here, the fruit and mineral notes are there in the foreground, and in the background, some herbs. The palate is intense, dense, and deep in notes of citrus fruits, but at the same time it has acidity capable of building a structure, of causing tension and, above all, of offering a delicious freshness that makes your mouth water. One of the great versions of what we consider one of the great whites of South America.

Review Date: 02/2025
An intense chardonnay with aromas of chalk, warm bread, brioche, seashells, stones and lemon zest. Less limey and a bit riper than usual, with a medium- to full-bodied palate and a chalky, mouthwatering finish. The zesty citrus and green apple flavors are strong. This is more complete and less austere and crystal clear than many of their previous vintages, with a richer mouthfeel. Saline and pithy in the finish, with length that’s all about pure lemon zest and seashells. Extension of lees contact to around six months helps increase the texture, with around 35% malolactic fermentation. (ZS)

Review Date: 10/2025
The 2024 Chardonnay Las Pizarras from Quillota in Aconcagua Costa spent six months on its lees and 12 months in oak barrels. Fine and delicate, it opens with subtle floral notes, a hint of herbs, ginger, crisp apple and a trace of jasmine. On the palate, it is vibrant and dry, with marked acidity, a saline edge and a soft, talc-like texture. Layered and nuanced, it strikes a well-judged balance between oak, tension and a faintly creamy texture. This vintage suggests that Las Pizarras is finding a stylistic path where fruit and tension express the cool climate while measured aging delivers greater harmony. (JH)

The 2023 Las Pizarras Chardonnay represents another benchmark iteration of this bottling. It fermented and aged in 300- and 400-liter barrels, with 12% being new, and it underwent partial malolactic conversion. It opens with a crystal-clear nose of stone fruits, white flowers and citrus zest, enlivened by an oceanic freshness. On the palate, it perfectly balances vibrant energy and textural breadth, culminating in a snappy, energetic and focused finish with impressive length—a definitive example of contemporary Chilean Chardonnay.

Notes

Made by famed winery Viña Errázuriz, the Las Pizarras wines are a compelling expression of Chile’s cool-coast viticulture. Grown in the Aconcagua Costa region, the vineyards sit less than 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean and rest on a high proportion of metamorphic slate soils—“pizarras” in Spanish—giving the wines a mineral backbone and finely etched structure.
