{"product_id":"2021-vinedo-chadwick","title":"2021 Vinedo Chadwick","description":"\u003cp\u003eViñedo Chadwick 2021 is one of Chile’s most coveted red wines, a single-vineyard icon that captures the poise and power of the Alto Maipo Valley. The 2021 vintage benefited from a long, even growing season, preserving bright natural acidity while allowing full phenolic ripeness. The result is a Cabernet-based wine of remarkable elegance, aromatic complexity and fine-boned structure, with the depth and concentration to evolve beautifully for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2021 Viñedo Chadwick shows a deep, vibrant purple core with an almost inky intensity at the center and a youthful violet rim. The nose is immediately expressive and layered: lifted aromas of violets, fresh raspberries and blackcurrant (cassis) intertwine with notes of cocoa, roasted coffee bean, nutmeg and subtle cedar, suggesting both varietal purity and refined oak integration.\n\nOn the palate, this is a precise and structured wine, combining juicy red and black fruit — think raspberry, black cherry and cassis — with dark chocolate, delicate baking spices and a touch of graphite. The tannins are very fine-grained and chalky, framing the fruit without overwhelming it, while the fresh, lively acidity brings tension and length. The finish is long, elegant and persistent, with floral and cocoa notes returning after each sip. Built for the cellar, the 2021 has excellent aging potential; it will gain further complexity over 10–20 years and beyond, while remaining approachable in its youth for those who enjoy vibrant, structured Cabernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViñedo Chadwick is sourced from a high-quality, gravelly vineyard in the Alto Maipo subregion of Chile’s Central Valley, an area renowned for producing some of the country’s most refined Cabernet Sauvignon. The well-drained gravel and alluvial soils, combined with a moderate climate and cooling influence from the nearby Andes, create ideal conditions for slow, even ripening. In 2021, a warm start to the season gave way to cooler, moderate summer temperatures and a timely rain event in late January, which helped recharge the deep, stony soils. This allowed the grapes to ripen gradually, with tannin and sugar maturity developing in sync. Harvest began towards the end of March, with careful parcel selection and hand-picking of small, healthy berries showing excellent color, ripe tannins and fresh acidity. In the cellar, the wine is vinified with gentle extraction to preserve finesse and aromatic purity, then aged in high-quality French oak (largely barriques) to polish the tannins and add subtle notes of spice, cocoa and coffee without overshadowing the vineyard character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis sophisticated, structured red is a natural partner for fine cuts of beef — grilled ribeye, roast sirloin or beef tenderloin with a red wine reduction all work beautifully. It also pairs superbly with lamb (rack of lamb, slow-roasted shoulder), game birds, and dishes featuring wild mushrooms, black truffle or aged hard cheeses such as Comté or Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) in large Bordeaux-style glasses to allow the aromatics to unfold. Decanting is recommended: about 1–2 hours before serving in its youth will help the wine open up, while older bottles may benefit from a gentler, shorter decant to separate any sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErrazuriz is one of Chile’s most historic and respected wine estates, founded in 1870 by Don Maximiano Errázuriz in the Aconcagua Valley.
