Viñedo Chadwick: A Legacy of Excellence in Chilean Winemaking

Historical Background

Established in 1942 by Alfonso Chadwick Errázuriz, Viñedo Chadwick is a testament to the Chadwick family’s enduring passion for viticulture. Located in the Maipo Valley, specifically in Puente Alto, the estate originally spanned 300 acres dedicated to high-quality red wine production. In 1967, the family sold a portion of the land to Concha y Toro, retaining 25 acres as their homestead. Alfonso’s son, Eduardo Chadwick, joined the estate and, following his father’s passing in 1993, continued the family’s pursuit of excellence in winemaking.

Vineyard and Terroir

The 15-hectare vineyard is situated at 650 meters above sea level in Puente Alto, an area renowned for its exceptional terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon. The soils consist of a 40 cm clay-loam layer over an alluvial stratum rich in stones, providing excellent drainage. This unique combination of altitude, soil composition, and climate contributes to the vineyard’s ability to produce wines of remarkable refinement and freshness.

Winemaking Philosophy

Viñedo Chadwick is a tribute to Don Alfonso Chadwick, showcasing the tradition and expertise of the Chadwick family in producing fine wines. The winery is committed to crafting wines that reflect the unique character of their terroir, employing meticulous vineyard management and winemaking techniques to ensure the highest quality.

Signature Wine

The estate’s flagship wine, Viñedo Chadwick, is produced in limited quantities, with less than 10,000 bottles per year. This exclusive production underscores the winery’s dedication to quality over quantity, resulting in a wine that has earned international acclaim for its elegance, complexity, and expression of the Maipo Valley terroir.
