VIÑEDO CHADWICK

2015

Grapes Cab Sauv
Colour Red
Origin Chile, Maipo
ABV 13.5%

Very deep and primary fruit character to this red gives the wine amazing length and focus. It seems to go on forever. Full body yet vivid and energetic. Tannic and muscular yet so polished and refined. Drink now. But one for the cellar as well. Drinking range: 2017 - 2027 Rating: 99-100 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Sept 2017)

I also tasted the 2015 Viñedo Chadwick from a warm and dry vintage that resulted in very healthy grapes that were picked earlier than ever. The parameters are remarkably similar to the 2014, and the winemaking and élevage were also virtually the same, fermentation in stainless steel and aging in French barriques (73% new) and with some 15% matured in a Stockinger oak foudre. As I saw in many other 2015s, this is the most elegant and refined vintage I have seen of this wine. With ultra-refined tannin, the wine is dry, very clean, not minty at all, with very good tension and length, with a chalky, tasty, almost salty finish. Of course, the classical notes of cedar wood, black peppercorns and tobacco are there, but in a very subtle way. Super elegant. 11,493 bottles were filled in February 2017.

Viñedo Chadwick

Viñedo Chadwick was the passion project of Alfonso Chadwick Errázuriz, who bought the 300-hectare Viña San José de Tocornal estate in 1942 to pursue his love of wine and polo. His son Eduardo Chadwick, recognised the potential of this unique terroir and convinced his father to convert his beloved polo field into vineyards. In 1992 it was planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Viñedo Chadwick was created to honour the memory of the late Don Alfonso Chadwick Errázuriz with an Ultra Premium red wine.

Located in the hills of the Alto Maipo Valley, at 650m above sea level Viñedo Chadwick is managed using sustainable farming practices. The cool morning breezes blowing down from the mountains, row orientation and moderate daytime temperatures allow the grapes to ripen to perfection while preserving their fruit intensity and acidity.

Since its inaugural release, Viñedo Chadwick has consistently received high praise and recognition, including being Robert Parker’s highest-rated Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile for five consecutive vintages and coming first in the famous 2004 Berlin tasting. The wine shows generous aromas of blueberry and dark cherry, licorice and bitter chocolate. Fine-grained tannins and depth ensure that this elegant wine will age beautifully for many years to come.
