Viñedo Chadwick Cabernet Sauvignon – Maipo Valley – Red – 2012:

 

The Viñedo Chadwick: A World-Class Chilean Icon

Viñedo Chadwick stands as a true icon, representing the pinnacle of Chilean fine wine. Crafted by Eduardo Chadwick in honour of his father, Don Alfonso, from the exceptional Puente Alto vineyards in the Maipo Valley, this wine is globally recognised for its extraordinary elegance and structure. Its legendary performance at the 2004 ‘Berlin Tasting’ cemented its status as a world-beater, often drawing comparisons to the First Growths of Bordeaux.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A deep, concentrated ruby hue, with an almost inky core.
• Nose: An aromatic tapestry of black cherry, cassis, and cranberry, beautifully interwoven with sophisticated notes of graphite, tobacco leaf, and a delicate floral lift of violet.
• Taste: The wine is impeccably balanced, showcasing immense concentration alongside remarkable freshness and precision. The tannins are layered, serious, and ultra-fine, leading to a long, satisfying, and polished finish. A wine built for the cellar.

Food Pairing & Decanting

Best served slightly cool (17-18°C). Given its youth and concentration, considerable decanting (2+ hours) is recommended. Pair with classic British roast dinners featuring high-quality red meat or rich game dishes.
