Seña
About Seña
Seña began as a joint venture in 1995 between Vina Errazuriz and Robert Mondavi. The two partners searched for four years before settling on a single vineyard with a unique micro-climate in the heart of Chile’s Aconcagua Valley. The Seña vineyards are only 40km from the Pacific Ocean, giving the terroir a crucial maritime influence. The lower median temperatures produce balanced acidity and an elegant and finessed wine. Most of the farming here is biodynamic.

Decanter (96)Such incredible aromatics on this wine, so much going on. Wildly perfumed, like wild meadow flowers with cherry, leather, coffee and blackcurrant. Smooth and coursing, this is evocative - pulsing with life and energy. The fruit is bright yet rich with mint-edged tannins that support the fruit and overall structure. You get these lovely mature tertiary aromas on the nose but then such youth still on the palate. Feels like a great time to drink this to enjoy the plump and still lively fruit with the tannins that are supportive, smooth and slightly grippy. I love it. A decadent wine, there's power here, but shining brightly right now. Just gorgeous. The first ex-chateau back vintage release, just a few thousand bottles. |
