Following the excellent 2014 vintage, 2015 was an ideal growing season for Viñedo Chadwick. Bud-break began on September 29 and was followed by a warm spring, resulting in a healthy flowering and fruit set, presaging the likelihood of small, concentrated berries. February was slightly cooler than average, but March was slightly warmer. Reacting quickly and decisively to the increase in temperatures and the impact it was having on acidity levels in the fruit, the team began precise, block-by-block harvesting on March 21, finishing nine days later.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM: On release, the critics’ response was unanimously positive with a raft of scores in the 95–99 range.
UK writer and Chilean expert Peter Richards MW was immediately impressed; writing in Decanter in 2017, he described the new vintage as Stunning new-wave Alto Maipo Cabernet, pioneering in the way that it marries super-fine yet dense, abundant and immensely cultured tannins with an elegant and complex scent. Displays a wonderfully lifted freshness and admirable finesse. Young, epic and exciting. 97 points
For the second year running, Viñedo Chadwick was Tim Atkin’s highest scoring red wine in his 2018 Chile Report Picked in March for the first time, this is the freshest and most refined release yet from this bijou Maipo Alto vineyard. More Lafite than Latour in style, it’s elegant, refined and refreshing, with wonderful grace and poise, chalky minerality and notes of graphite, cassis and fennel. 98 points, in further recognition, Atkin also named Francisco Baettig as his Chilean Winemaker of the Year.
In addition, backing for the new style and the vintage came from Patricio Tapia Until this 2015 we didn’t know that Alto Maipo could offer this level of liveliness and elegance. A true surprise. 98 points
A shade higher was James Suckling Very deep and primary fruit character in this red gives the wine amazing length and focus. It seems to go on forever. Full body yet vivid and energetic. Tannic and muscular yet so polished and finish. 99 points
