HISTORICS RESULTS FOR CHILE…
STEVEN SPURRIER, from Decanter, UK moderated the event.
Impressions after the Berlin tasting.
“The victory was conclusive
for Eduardo Chadwick. Why
did the tasters put his wines
first, second and fourth?
Simply because they are very
good wines indeed.”
JANCIS ROBINSON’S at Financial Times, UK
February 14th, 2004
“One enterprising Chilean wine
producer, Eduardo Chadwick of Viña
Errázuriz, has managed to organise
a similar evolutionary milestone for
the Chilean wine industry…
…at what will be doubtless come to
be known in the history of Chilean
wine as the Berlin Tasting.”
