The Las Pizarras range by the highly acclaimed Chilean winery, Viña Errázuriz is what they consider to be their Grand Cru expressions of Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Noir and are strictly limited production wines. The Pinot Noir comes from four specific parcels within their cool-climate estate in Aconcagua Costa that have significant amounts of slate soils (‘pizarras’, in Spanish). 2016 was an excellent vintage, producing a wine with superb balance of purity, power and elegance.
