Viñedo Chadwick 2023 is a momentous release for the Chadwick family, as it marks an important 25-year milestone for this pioneering wine. Since its inception in 1999, its unprecedented rise to fame has included a number of groundbreaking achievements: 
  
  • The first Chilean wine to break into the global elite. The historic 2004 Berlin Tasting shifted international perceptions when Viñedo Chadwick 2000 beat Latour, Lafite and Margaux 2000 in a blind tasting.
  • The first 100-point wine in Chile’s history. To date, four vintages have achieved this recognition from several leading critics.
  • ‘Wine Legend’ award by Decanter magazine, placing it alongside iconic names such as Petrus, Lafite, Margaux and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
  • Its D.O. of Puente Alto is now recognised as a world-class appellation for Cabernet Sauvignon, given its special terroir.
 
It is rare for an overseas newcomer to share this space alongside so many hallowed names in such a short space of time. The Chadwick family’s unwavering commitment to flagship-level quality is impossible to ignore —it is the foundation of a legacy in the making.
 
The 2023 vintage marks a new milestone and sets a new precedent. With warm days and cool nights throughout the growing season, the Cabernet Sauvignon had the ideal conditions to ripen to perfection while retaining its signature poise, vibrancy, and freshness.
 
Since 2022, the estate has further refined its élevage: 18 months in oak, with 90% in barrel and 10% in foudre.  This managed maturation preserves the purity of the fruit while adding structure and nuance. The result is pristine, expressive dark fruits layered with spice and mineral notes, supported by supple, finely textured chalky tannins — a clear expression of the distinguished DNA of the Puente Alto terroir.
 
Joaquin Hidalgo of Vinous celebrates this: “The most prominent is Alto Maipo, where the alluvial terraces of the river deliver a profile that Chilean winemakers know how to handle with great precision. (...) Those from the Puente Alto (…) are particularly remarkable, taking on an intensity that you won’t find anywhere else in the country. Notable wines (...) include (...) 2023 Viñedo Chadwick (...)”.
 
The exceptional trajectory of the 2023 vintage is clearly reflected in the praise it has received from leading critics:
 
“This is one of the best vintages of Viñedo de Chadwick” – 100 points, James Suckling
 
“It will surely become a 100-point wine at a not-distant point in its trajectory of development; such is the nuance and energy it shows from the outset - make sure you save a few bottles and revisit it in a handful of years.” - 99 points, Decanter
 
“This is a charming showing of Chadwick…, and my score could appear conservative with more time in bottle.” - 96+ points, Wine Advocate
 
 
To mark this exclusive release, and for the first time in its history, Viñedo Chadwick presents a special-edition label for the 2023 vintage, along with an elegant anniversary wooden case, as pictured above.
 
“To celebrate the 25th harvest of Viñedo Chadwick is to honour the extraordinary fruit of this noble land and also the lifelong dream of my family to elevate Chilean wine to the highest recognition across the world. This journey has been one of patience, vision and dedication, and I feel deeply rewarded to see our family legacy flourish with such grace and distinction.” 
Eduardo Chadwick, Owner & President of Viñedo Chadwick
