The 2019 Viñedo Chadwick is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto, one of the best zones within Maipo. It is from a moderately warm vintage that yielded a wine with only 13% alcohol and good freshness. It contains about 3% Petit Verdot. Super elegant and that also explains the very high scores of Parker and Suckling. The vines were planted in 1992 and the vines were fermented in equal parts in stainless steel and concrete or troncoconical vats. Three quarters of the wine was aged in new barriques and the rest in Stockinger foudres for 22 months, including time for malolactic fermentation.
The Chadwick is an absolute icon wine and is one of the best wine in the world. The color is deep cherry red with a purple glow. After some contact with the oxygen in the air, the bouquet gives off fruity notes of blueberries and wild strawberries. Also nuances of tobacco, freshly roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, truffle, cedar wood and black pepper. On the palate, the fruit character comes back strongly with a hint of caramel from the wood ageing. The finale is grandiose with a round, powerful character with elegance and complexity and a lot of subtlety. Limited availability.
A vineyard of only 15 hectares with the ultimate terroir for one of the most illustrious wines of Chile. More than once a glorious victory in blind tastings with Premier Grand Crus from Bordeaux. 99/100 Suckling 97/100 Robert Parker.
Viñedo Chadwick from Puente Alto in Maipo is the only vineyard of Eduardo Chadwick of Errázuriz and Seña. They only produce 10,000 bottles and both wines are distributed through the Place du Bordeaux where Grandcru wines can happily buy.
