The Maipo Valley experienced warm conditions during the 2011–12 season. Minimum and maximum average temperatures were higher than the historic average, except in January when temperatures dropped slightly. February and March were the warmest months of the season, reaching an average of 29.7°C (85.5°F). At Viñedo Chadwick, yields were lower due to the poor induction of the buds, following the cold spring of 2010. Overall, the conditions of low yields and warmer temperatures resulted in an early harvest, which began on March 21.

Eduardo Chadwick presented the wine in 2014 and noted that, ‘its soft texture and extremely silky and fine-grained tannins speak of a wine that is classy, elegant and subtle, with a long life ahead.’

CRITICAL ACCLAIM: Early reactions to the new vintage release were once again highly positive.

James Suckling was even more enthusiastic, in October 2014, comparing the 2012 to one of the greatest wines in Bordeaux – and scoring it accordingly This is a superb red with currant, white truffle, sandalwood and stone ... Full body, chewy tannins and a powerful finish. Turns to iodine. Gravel and hints of licorice too. Very, very long. This IS the La Mission Haut-Brion of Chile. A phenomenal Cabernet Sauvignon. 97 points

Writing in 2017 for Decanter, Patricio Tapia found much to admire A combination of low yields and warm conditions in the vineyard led to harvest earlier than usual in search of freshness in the grapes. In this 2012 you can feel a deep density of flavours, together with a sharp acidity accompanied by soft, spicy touches and a tense yet mellow texture. A delicate Maipo. 95 points
