2017 was a very low-yielding and warm year, and the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for the 2017 ViƱedo Chadwick were harvested earlier than ever in early March to avoid excessive ripeness and maintain good freshness. This has the classic minty Maipo profile, with more grip, concentration and tannin – polished, fine-grained tannin – than the 2016. It has good weight and combines power with elegance, in a clean and classic style. The oak is beautifully integrated and in 2014 they even started using larger foudres of 2,500 liters for the Cabernet Sauvignon; the profile of the wine has changed towards more integration and less presence of the oak aromas and flavors. This is textbook Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon with a little touch of Petit Verdot in an elegant way.

The Chadwick always receives high scores (Parker 96+) but most impressed was James Suckling, who again gave the 2017 a perfect score (100/11). The pure fruit and juicy tannins are so juicy and tempting. Full body and soft, silky tannins. Completely. Everything is where it should be. Ripe fruit and spicy acidity provide energy and balance. I like the finish. Precise and fine-grained texture. 100 points

Chile deserves the top prize of all 'new' wine countries. Mainly due to the fact that the wines of this country have found a connection with the taste of many wine lovers, wherever in the world, at a record pace. There are of course special reasons for this success. The climate and soil type are ideal here and the classic European grape varieties were already present. Yet it is mainly thanks to the vision of people like Eduardo Chadwick-ErrÔzuriz that these benefits were so quickly translated into resounding success. Exactly 140 years ago, Maximiano ErrÔzuriz planted his vineyard in Panquehue, at the foot of the highest mountain in the Andes chain. The cool fall winds, proximity to the Aconcagua River and annual rainfall of only 25 cm make this an ideal area for wine growing. His great-grandson Eduardo Chadwick-ErrÔzuriz has added a number of plots since 1990; they are planted with the grape varieties that best suit the specific soil and microclimate. As a result, in addition to the classic cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay, the merlot, shiraz and carmenère also benefit from this earthly paradise for wine growing. Viña ErrÔzuriz has since grown to become the absolute top of Chilean wine producers.
