Stunning Value!: The New Releases From Las Pizarras

Combining immense quality, huge scores and great prices, the Las Pizarras wines are some of the most compelling buys on the market. The 2022s have just been released and continue a run of form that is near unparalleled at this price point. Together, the 2022 Las Pizarras Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah are a superb trio of wines to stock up on.

The Las Pizarras wines are the ‘Grand Crus’ in the Errazuriz portfolio. They come from small plots of vines within the wider vineyards identified as sitting on unique schist soils on the lower slopes of the Andes, where ideal drainage and soil composition mean reds and whites with drive, energy, purity and precision. The care and attention they receive are second to none, meaning that they punch massively above their price points.

With scores up to 98 points, the 2022s are excellent. The Chardonnay has Astonishing purity and youthful freshness” and, for James Suckling, is Surely the best white wine from this producer to date!”. The Pinot Noir is Excellent energy. Serious” and will age beautifully. The Syrah is,Really fresh and crunchy with al-dente fruit and tannins on the medium-bodied palate”

All are highly recommended as they stand out from the crowd at this price level. Do let us know if you would like any.

Astonishing purity and youthful freshness, the white-peach, Asian-pear and candied Amalfi-lemon aromas incredibly vivid. Super-focused, medium-bodied palate with staggering vitality and energy. This is very concentrated, but the refreshing acidity makes it feel so light on its feet. Then comes the diamond-bright minerality at the finish. Surely the best white wine from this producer to date! Made from vines planted in 2005. Drink or hold. 20th Anniversary Berlin Tasting Event, February 2024www.jamessuckling.com

Sour black cherries, violets and a touch of peppercorns and chaparral. Really fresh and crunchy with al-dente fruit and tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Freshness is the key here, and there seems to be more fruit in this vintage. Drinkable now, but better from 2025www.jamessuckling.com
