Seña

In the early 1990s, Edouardo Chadwick - owner of the renowned Vina Errazuriz - and Robert Mondavi - renowned Napa Valley producer, joined forces to create an iconic Chilean cuvée. Over a period of four years, they searched for the ideal terroir to bring their project to fruition.

The Sena vineyard is located in the western part of the Aconcagua Valley, 41 km from the Pacific Ocean and 100 km northwest of Santiago, Chile's capital. It covers 42 hectares planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Syrah. Due to its location, Sena 's climate is cooler than other red wine-producing areas. However, it is warm enough for each grape variety to reach optimum ripeness. Harvesting generally takes place two weeks later than in the region's other, more inland vineyards.

The Sena terroir lies on the colluvial soils of the slopes of the Aconcagua Valley, containing a diversity of textures and varying amounts of rock. Thus, there are large quantities of gravel, rock and loam.

Sena was bottled for the first time in 1995, and since then it has received rave reviews. A goal fulfilled for Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi - who passed away in 2008.

In the interests of quality, Sena 's vineyards are now managed biodynamically.

"A true consecration for Chile with a 100/100 from James Suckling, and judged among the best vintages of the estate by the Wine Advocate!"

"One of the best vintages of the iconic Seña wine, Seña 2021 comes from a cooler year, in line with 2016 and 2018, certainly cooler than 2020 and 2019. It has a super-expressive nose, elegant, nuanced, fragrant, subtle and pure, with aromatic finesse, layered and complex. [...] It's fine and structured but juicy, similar to 2018 but with more finesse. There's the spicy/herbaceous touch of Cabernet, ultra-refined tannins that give it great elegance, as well as length, purity and delineation. Superb" (The Wine Advocate 2023) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).
