Wine dinner with Olivier Gasselin of Errazuriz Errazuriz wines of Chile at Frederick’s Restaurant’s private club room, London, Wednesday 4th June


We have been so impressed by the wines of Errazuriz at previous dinners  that we hosted another special evening  with some of their new releases. The Errazuriz Estate was founded in 1870 in the Aconcagua Valley in Chile. Don Maximiano Errazuriz, the founder, planted the first French vines in this region and it is widely considered as the premier family wine estate of Chile. The Aconcagua valley’ is affected by cool ocean breezes, hot sunshine and rocky soils, this provides the ideal conditions for growing high-quality grapes such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines have intense flavours and a perfect balance of acidity and tannins.
Hosted by Olivier their brand ambassador we tried 6 of their wines including their premium selections from a variety of grapes and vintages over a three course matched tasting dinner in Frederick’s private room.Full details of the menu and wines below.

Thanks to the lovely crowd of 30 who attended including newly weds Ankur and Pooja!!
