Features of Chadwick 2018
- Grape varieties: The wine is made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, often supplemented with small amounts of other Bordeaux varieties such as Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, depending on the vintage and the specific blend chosen to achieve the best expression of the terroir.
- Origin: The grapes for Chadwick 2018 come from the ViƱa Errazuriz vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley, a region known for its ideal climate and soil conditions for growing premium grapes.
- Vineyards: The vineyards have been carefully managed to ensure low yields, resulting in high quality grapes with intense flavor and aromas.
- Vinification: The wine undergoes careful fermentation and is then aged in French oak barrels, a significant portion of which are new. This contributes to the complexity and structure of the wine.
- Tasting notes: Chadwick 2018 has a deep, ruby red color. The bouquet offers rich aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and cassis, with subtle hints of cedarwood, graphite and dark chocolate. On the palate the wine is full and lush, with firm but refined tannins and perfectly integrated acidity. The flavors of ripe dark fruit are complemented by layers of spice, vanilla and a touch of mineral notes. The aftertaste is long, elegant and complex.
- Wine Style: Chadwick 2018 is a world-class wine, which has the potential to age and develop over the years. It is a powerful and refined wine that can be enjoyed now or after many years of cellar maturation.
FACT: The wine is stored in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will often receive a nice discount. You will see your discount immediately when you choose Collect in the Checkout page. We are almost next to the Rijksweg with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

They talk about textbook climate conditions during the growing season for the grapes used for the 2018 ViƱedo Chadwick, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a 3% dash of Petit Verdot. The vines are planted on alluvial soils, and the grapes were picked in the morning and transported to the winery to be fermented in a combination of stainless steel (75%) and troncoconic concrete vats. Eighty percent of the wine matured in new French oak barriques and the remaining 20% in Stockinger oak foudres for a period of 22 months. It's 13.5% alcohol and has very good acidity. ViƱedo Chadwick is a little warmer as a zone than the vineyards of SeƱa, but the wine is still very fresh, with moderate alcohol, perfectly ripe fruit and super integrated oak, coming through as elegant within the powerful style of the zone, with red and black fruit, some aromatic herbs, the cedary and spicy notes of the variety and the signature tannins of Cabernet, keeping the juiciness of the last few years. The little bit of Petit Verdot in the blend gives it a spicy touch. It's vibrant, balanced and intense, still a little young and creamy, and I'd wait a little bit longer before pulling the cork. This can surely age in bottle, as it has the ingredients and the balance to do so; it has the elegance of 2016 with a little more structure and depthāand a little more clout too. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2020.
ViƱedo Chadwick is an unusual project, as the vineyard was planted in 1992 on a polo court that belonged to the father of Eduardo Chadwick of ErrƔzuriz and SeƱa. The polo field was, of course, on prime vineyard land in Puente Alto, one of the most prestigious places in Maipo.

The aromas show blackcurrant, pine-tree, violet and light spearmint character. Full-bodied, yet reserved and tight with fine, creamy tannins. Hints of currants and fresh herbs. Extremely long and layered. Try after 2022.

From: ViƱedo Chadwick: 21 Years of Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto (Aug 2022)
The 2018 ViƱedo Chadwick is a wine made during a perfect year in which a wet winter was followed by a mild spring and similarly mild harvest period. Considered one of the great vintages in Chile, the balance and intensity achieved in Puente Alto DO offers one of the best versions for the last 20 years: a combination of the ideal climate with gravel soils defined a perfect maturity for Cabernet Sauvignon. ViƱedo Chadwick, with a 3% dash of Petit Verdot, was 80% aged in new French barrels and the rest in foudres for 22 months. It is garnet red with a purple sheen in the glass. It has a complex nose of herbs, blackcurrant, sour cherry and licorice over a bed of blackberry, cedar and orange petit fours. Broad but smooth, it develops good juiciness and depth with balanced flavor and tension while the richness and acidity combine harmoniously with the 13.5% alcohol.

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-ErrĆ”zuriz that these benefits were so quickly translated into resounding success. Exactly 140 years ago, Maximiano ErrĆ”zuriz 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-ErrĆ”zuriz 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 carmenĆØre also benefit from this earthly paradise for wine growing. ViƱa ErrĆ”zuriz has since grown to become the absolute top of Chilean wine producers.
