How Viñedo Chadwick, Seña, & Errazuriz Put Chilean Wine On The Map
In this episode, we sit down with Eduardo Chadwick, the visionary behind Viñedo Chadwick, Seña, and Errázuriz—three producers shaping the future of Chilean fine wine. Eduardo’s passion for elevating Chile’s global reputation has made him one of the most influential figures in South American wine. From historic tastings to sustainable practices, Eduardo shares how his family’s dedication has put Chilean wines on the world stage.
Eduardo shares his family's winemaking legacy, which dates back to the 19th century, and details his mission to elevate Chilean wines to global recognition. We explore:
- The Berlin Tasting: Chile’s “Judgment of Paris” moment where Eduardo’s wines shocked the world by outperforming Bordeaux and Italian icons in a blind tasting.
- Chilean Terroir: How regions like the Maipo Valley and Aconcagua Valley produce wines of finesse, elegance, and ageability, particularly through Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blends.
- Biodynamic Farming: Eduardo discusses the role of biodynamic principles in preserving terroir and enhancing wine quality.
- Las Pizarras Chardonnay & Pinot Noir: Chile’s coastal vineyards are redefining cool-climate wines with minerality and freshness akin to Burgundy.
