Viñedo Chadwick is one of the most prestigious icons of the Chilean wine world, located in the Puente Alto appellation, in the Maipo Valley. This estate is part of the Chadwick family legacy, established in honor of Alfonso Chadwick Errázuriz. It was here, on the site of the family's former polo field, that vineyards were planted in 1992, producing wines in small quantities that have since gained international acclaim.
The estate’s legacy is carried forward by Eduardo Chadwick, who not only strengthened the prestige of Chilean wine globally but also initiated the historic “Berlin Tasting” in 2004, where Viñedo Chadwick 2000 outperformed several renowned Bordeaux and Italian wines.
The Vineyard
The vineyard covers just 15 hectares, nestled at 650 meters above sea level at the foothills of the Andes. Surrounded by granite and alluvial soils, it offers excellent drainage and balanced ripening conditions. All vineyard work is carried out by hand, and yields are strictly limited to achieve maximum concentration and pure expression of the terroir.

Wine Style
Viñedo Chadwick is known for its elegant, age-worthy, structured and refined style. The nose reveals notes of blackcurrant, cherry, tobacco, cedar, graphite, as well as subtle hints of mint and herbs. On the palate, it offers a perfect balance of silky tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, concentrated fruit-driven finish. The alcohol level sits around 13%, reflecting a classic European structure with New World vibrancy.
Prestigious Vineyards
The main grape variety is ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’, which often makes up 97–100% of the blend. In some vintages, a small portion of ‘Petit Verdot’ is added to enhance depth and spice. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel or concrete tanks, and the wine is aged for 22 months, with about 75% in new French oak barrels, and the rest in large foudre oak casks.
Ageing and Drinking Window
Although Viñedo Chadwick can be appreciated in its youth, its true elegance unfolds after 7–10 years of ageing. It reaches peak maturity around 15–20 years, making it a brilliant addition to any serious wine collection.
