This is a new syrah and delivers extreme perfumes of flowers and sliced meat with dried strawberries. Full to medium body. Very soft and silky tannins. Savory. Polished and caressing. Delicious, savory finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2017 Aconcagua Costa "Las Pizarras" Syrah is a new red from the slate soils in Aconcagua Costa, from a cooler zone of the valley. It has moderate alcohol, more freshness and notes of raspberry leaf, a touch of beef blood and iron and something floral and refined, quite elegant and complex. This is a more Rhône-ish style, developing those aromas of smoked bacon, quite aerial, floral and really attractive with intense fruit. It's beautifully textured, with a dry sensation that provides grip, and there's no sweetness whatsoever; it's serious, balanced, long and elegant. The élevage lasted 16 months and was mostly in oval Stockinger 2,500-liter oak foudres, with some 35% of the volume in barrique. The aging was quite respectful of the wine, which is more delicate than powerful, with 13% alcohol and good freshness.

• Wine Spectator: This is a new syrah and delivers extreme perfumes of flowers and sliced meat with dried strawberries. Full to medium body. Very soft and silky tannins. Savory. Polished and caressing. Delicious, savory finish.

By 1890 this figure had risen to 700 ha (1730 ac), making Errazuriz the largest wine estate in the world owned by an individual.Wines from the estate portfolio are popular at all price levels, but Errazuriz has gained particular acclaim for its Icon wine range.

Other wines in the Icon range include the KAI, a Carmenere-based blend and the La Cumbre Syrah which are all sourced from the estate vineyards.
