Vinedo Chadwick - Puento Alto 2022

Viñedo Chadwick, from a polo ground to a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon.

Viñedo Chadwick is a tribute to Don Alfonso Chadwick, highlighting the Chadwick family's tradition and expertise in producing fine wines. Originally Don Alfonso's personal polo field, the vineyard is now renowned as the birthplace of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile. Located in Puente Alto D.O., Maipo Valley, Viñedo Chadwick gained international acclaim at the legendary ‘Berlin Tasting’ in January 2004, where its 2000 vintage took first place, surpassing Italy's Super Tuscans and Bordeaux's First Growth wines of that year. In 2024, Eduardo and his daughters commemorated the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Tasting with celebratory tastings worldwide.

Tasting notes:

“Deep, bright cherry red, 2022 Viñedo Chadwick is a pure and perfumed wine, with floral notes that remind of violets, black fruit as blackberries, black cherries, along with raspberries, spicy notes like white pepper, dill, nutmeg, and tobacco. A fresh and juicy palate is contained by chalky tannins and a firm and elegant structure, showing a fantastic balance between flesh and length.” Francisco Baettig, Winemaker

This is by far and away my favourite Viñedo Chadwick I have tasted. The definition and precision here are tremendous, and this is one of the classiest and most measured Chilean reds imaginable. There is spice, coolness and infinite detail here, and given it is 96% Cabernet, it still manages to look super-complex.

The Drink Business

Viñedo Chadwick 2022 (Puente Alto, Valle del Maipo; 96% Cabernet Sauvignon; 4% Petit Verdot; a little less barrel aging, from 20-22 to 18 months; 13.5% alcohol; last vintage with Francisco Baettig as the wine-maker as he moves to a consultant role and tasted with him over Zoom). Very floral and expressive aromatically, but deeper, darker, more mysterious and a touch more austere than Seña – for Bordeaux aficionados, more left-bank too, exuding Cabernet seriousness and structure, despite its svelteness and lithe tannins. Cassis, kirsch. Patchouli. Wild roses. Menthol. Eucalyptus. Deeper and richer in the mouth, too. It was slightly cooler in the summer months than average, lengthening the maturation period. Great finesse to the tannins. There’s considerable complexity here, but some of it remains inaccessible in this nascent phase, hidden in that dense central core. Elegant and dynamic, dense and structured, compact and charged – more so than Seña. Impressive. But this will need, as it will reward, a lot of patience. Long but with tannins to resolve. 98.

Wine Advocate

The 2022 Viñedo Chadwick is equal parts composed and commanding, entering with an aromatic intensity that stays under the surface but holds excellent energy and power. The nose is darkly fruited, herbal and wonderfully gravel-laden and toasted, displaying pitch-perfect harmony between all elements. The texture is sumptuous yet graceful, displaying fantastic poise and clarity through its classically structured framing and balance. The finish calls back the nose's multidimensionality, simultaneously achieving a flashy, rugged persistence housed in an exquisite, understated and nuanced package. This is a real work of art that should deliver immense pleasure for two decades. It's a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in predominantly barrique with a small portion of foudre.

Vinous

byJoaquin Hidalgothe8/9/2024

The 2022 Viñedo Chadwick comprises 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, sourced from the Puente Alto vineyard. Among Chile's iconic wines, Viñedo Chadwick has carved out a unique place for elegance and intensity, and this vintage is a stunning example. Aged for 20 months, with 90% in new French oak barrels and 10% in foudres, this bright purple wine unfolds nuanced aromas of cassis, ash and black pepper, complemented by a deep cedar layer that evolves into subtle floral and spicy hints. Dry, with fine-grained tannins and a juicy flow, its deep flavors lead to a structured and slightly austere mouthfeel—a finessed Bordeaux-oriented red with the plush tannins of Maipo. Beautiful.

Good quality, with a loose-limbed feel to the tannic architecture that is just so appealing, giving a confident hold to the fennel and bitter chocolate notes that run through the cassis and bilberry fruits. Great quality, heads towards eucalyptus and mint leaf after a few minutes in the glass, this is intense and with confident grip on the finish, great lift on the finish, full of personality.

Aromas of blackcurrants, crushed stone, bay leaves, graphite, violets and some rust. Full-bodied with layers of velvety tannins that turn to cashmere. Juicy and flavorful. Needs time to open. It’s extremely structured and solid. Best after 2027.
