Viña Errázuriz Reaffirms World-Class Status of Chilean Wines in the Copenhagen Edition of the Berlin Tasting
24 guests including some of Denmark’s most respected wine journalists, sommeliers and wine consultants, blind tasted Viñedo Chadwick, Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve and Seña, alongside reputed French and Italian wines. Read More >
Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve 2004 came atop Château Mouton Roschild, Château Latour both of the 2005 vintage, rated by Robert Parker as one of the best ever, and of Italian Super Tuscans Solaia and Sassicaia 2004. This outcome once again showed the excellence of Chilean wines, and a firm consistency in capturing the audience’s preference throughout the different Berlin Tastings held until today around the world.
The event was moderated by Søren Frank and Niels Lillelund, two of the most important wine journalists in Denmark.
Prior to the tasting, Eduardo Chadwick, President of Viña Errázuriz, lectured on Chile as a world class appellation and the conditions that make it a viticultural paradise.
The Berlin Tasting is part of Viña Errázuriz philosophy of educating the international audience on the development of Chilean wine, and its potential to produce highest quality wines, as shown in these tastings. This event thrust Chile’s wines into the international spotlight when a panel of renowned European experts ranked Viñedo Chadwick 2000 and Seña 2001 first and second, respectively at a blind tasting that included some of the best wines in the world.

Henrik Oldenburg, Author and Wine Writer, October 2013Especially after the tasting in Copenhagen, the surprise was not only a new surprise, but a sensation. And today, everybody who enjoys sitting with a glass in his or her hand knows that the best red Chilean wines are truly world class.

I don’t think he was expecting at all to do as well as he did, but I think having done it, it was an educational experience further than he had planned, because instead of just educating the 40 or 50 people in the room, he educated the entire world.

When Eduardo and I first discussed the concept of this blind tasting format, I told him to brace himself for disappointment, especially given the popularity of Bordeaux reds in this part of the world. I was completely wrong in my warning and I am truly surprised by the results…

Jorge Lucki, Brazilian Wine Journalist and Columnist for Valor Econômico de Sao Paulo, October 2013
Until that point only Eduardo knew what he had in his hands. Today the whole world knows… By reaching indisputable recognition in the world wine scene, Eduardo Chadwick’s wines have clearly demonstrated Chile’s tremendous vitivinicultural potential and have helped Chilean wines earn greater space and credibility in the international market.

Josh Raynolds, Wine Critic to Steven Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar, USA, December 2013
These tastings definitely have had an impact on how many influential members of the American wine trade view Chile today. So I see them as invaluable to promoting Chile’s well- deserved image as a source for world-class wine that can sit alongside the best that the rest of the world has to offer.

Jancis Robinson MW, “Chilean Wine Grows Up” Financial Times UK, ft Weekend Magazine, February 14, 2004
One enterprising Chilean wine producer, Eduardo Chadwick of Viña Errázuriz, has managed to organise a similar evolutionary milestone for the Chilean wine industry—or at least of his own wines… at what will doubtless come to be known in the history of Chilean wine as the “Berlin Tasting”
