This wine will be remembered as another exceptional vintage at Viñedo Chadwick that is rightly heralded for its unique balance, fruit purity and profundity. It will also be remembered as another ‘game-changing’ wine for Chile’s fine-wine industry as it recorded a slew of scores in the high 90s and the country’s first, perfect 100-point rating.
Initial concerns over a cool spring subsided in October due to a steady increase in temperatures, leading to a healthy flowering and fruit set. A warm, dry January gave way to cooler weather from February to April and the total heat summation for the year ended up below its historic average. The grapes ripened steadily and evenly until they reached their optimum maturity level.
Francisco Baettig points out that, ‘our lower yields, dry conditions and constant quest for elegance, freshness and purity resulted in an earlier harvest. We started picking the Cabernet Sauvignon on March 20, with some lots picked up to fifteen days earlier than usual. This has enabled us to capture the wonderful acidity, fine-grained tannins and vivid fruit that characterizes the 2014 Viñedo Chadwick.’ Significantly, the wine also came in at just 13.5% alcohol, while just 400 cases were produced – half the usual production.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM: The reaction from the world’s leading wine critics was overwhelmingly positive.
UK reviewer and Chile expert Tim Atkin MW agreed, scoring the wine top red in his 2017 Chile Report This brilliant Maipo Cabernet comes from a vineyard in Puente Alto, planted in 1999 ... It’s a wonderfully subtle, nuanced, textured wine with floral almost Lafite-like grace and poise. 98 points
Finally, but perhaps not surprisingly, came the note and score that, once again, redefined Viñedo Chadwick’s global reputation. In June 2016, James Suckling scored the wine at 100 points with a tasting note to match. This is a wine that simultaneously defines elegance and power ... Complex aromas of blueberry, black currant and black licorice. Full-body yet refined and beautiful with stunning length and complexity. It has a transparency that shows such greatness and beauty. Has an energy and brightness. Chile’s first perfect wine and well deserved.
