Viñedo Chadwick

One wine, one vineyard in prime Alto Maipo terroir. Viñedo Chadwick is a stylish Cabernet Sauvignon made by one of Chile’s leading winemakers, Francisco Baettig. The estate had been the family’s polo field for almost 50 years until Eduardo Chadwick convinced his father to allow him to plant the polo field with Cabernet Sauvignon in 1992 — the same vineyard that the wine is produced from today. Since the first vintage in 1999, Viñedo Chadwick has gone on to become one of Chile’s most exclusive and prized wines. 

About Viñedo Chadwick

This old polo field has become one of Chile’s most famous vineyards, Viñedo Chadwick in Alto Maipo. Alfonso Chadwick was one of Chile’s most prized polo players but when he retired he allowed his son, Eduardo Chadwick, to plant vines on his beloved polo field in 1992. Sadly Alfonso died the next year and never got to see Viñedo Chadwick produce the iconic Cabernet Sauvignon it does today. One of Chile’s top luxury labels.

About the Viñedo Chadwick vineyards

Viñedo Chadwick is located in Puente Alto, in the Maipo Valley, 650 meters above sea level. The 15-hectare vineyard is considered one of Chile’s best terroirs for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon. The soils are moderately fertile, with a 40 cm clay-loam stratum (clay content of around 15%–20%), over an alluvial layer with 70% stone content that provides excellent drainage.

Viñedo Chadwick is managed using sustainable farming practices. The vines are trained to a vertical trellis and spur pruned and for careful vigor control, irrigation is done under a unique and highly technical drip irrigation system.

Viñedo Chadwick wine

Elegant and very classy Cabernet Sauvignon from the Chadwick family’s vineyard planted on a former polo field. Filled with fresh dark berry fruit, a hint of exotic spice and floral notes, this is a seductive Cab and one that will age beautifully.

Since the first vintage in 1999, Viñedo Chadwick has gone on to become one of Chile’s most exclusive and prized wines. Their aim is to make an elegant wine with freshness and purity, showing the Maipo Valley at its highest level.

On May 2016, Viñedo Chadwick 2014 scored a perfect 100 points, becoming the first Chilean wine to achieve this critic recognition.

This vintage is perhaps the epitome of purity and freshness of our terroir. I believe it is the greatest expression of Viñedo Chadwick made so far. This is a most wonderful recognition of all of these years of hard work and dedication.”
