Chilean Charm: Viñedo Chadwick dinner

Join groundbreaking Chilean producer Eduardo Chadwick at an elegant dinner to honour the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Tasting that solidified Chile’s reputation as a fine-wine country. Eight wines, including the 100-point Seña 2021 and the Viñedo Chadwick 2021 – rated 100 points by six different wine critics, including Tim Atkin, Wine Advocate and James Suckling – will be tasted alongside a four-course dinner at Ritz-Carlton.

Chadwick was determined to prove Chile’s worth as a world-class wine country, so he organized a blind tasting at the Berlin Ritz-Carlton in 2004, with renowned wine critics Steven Spurrier and René Gabriel as hosts. Viñedo Chadwick, Don Maximiano and Seña would compete against the likes of Lafite, Solaia, Margaux, Latour and more. Viñedo Chadwick and Seña took the first top spots.

Wine critic Jancis Robinson, MW, remarked of the event: “Chadwick has managed to organize a similar evolutionary milestone [to the 1976 Judgment of Paris] for the Chilean wine industry … at what will doubtless come to be known in the history of Chilean wine as the ‘Berlin Tasting.’” (Financial Times UK, Feb. 2004).

This year, as the 20th anniversary tastings unfold worldwide, Eduardo Chadwick isn’t waiting for critics to evaluate how his wines compare to the best wines in the world. Instead, Viñedos Familia Chadwick is showcasing the evolution of their acclaimed wines – Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve, the Viña Errázuriz flagship; KAI, the best expression of Carmenère, Chile’s signature grape; Seña, Chile’s first icon wine; and Viñedo Chadwick, which showcases the Chadwick family’s winemaking tradition and pursuit of excellence.

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Tasting with the man himself, along with his daughter and protégé, Magui Chadwick.
