The 2013 Seña might very well be their finest vintage to date. 2013 was a cool vintage that favored fresh flavors and elegant and pure wines full of nuances. At Viña Seña, they took advantage of the natural conditions and produced a stunning blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carménère, 12% Malbec, 10% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, sourced from their 42 hectares of vineyards planted some 16 years ago in the Aconcagua Valley. The varietal mix has been fine tuned and the oak has also been gradually reduced during the last few years. The process was pretty straightforward, fermentation in stainless steel and aging in French oak barrels (75% of them new) for 22 months. It has a subtle nose with aromas of red and black fruit denoting very good freshness, and the classical tobacco and cracked peppercorns, with the oak nicely integrated adding some spices and faint smoky aromas. The red fruit is remarkable and really adds freshness. Linear, juicy, sharp and long, very tasty and with very fine, slightly grainy tannins. There is superb balance, classical proportion and symmetry. I have not tasted all of the vintages of Seña (one day...), but out of all the years I've tried, this is certainly the best. I'm sure this will bloom in bottle and will have a long development. 60,000 bottles were filled.

A vibrant red, with concentrated flavors of dark plum, cherry, mocha and dark currant that are well-structured, featuring pure-tasting minerality. Notes of dried herb emerge on the finish. Drink now through 2019.

Eduardo Chadwick ha collaborato con il famoso vinificatore californiano Robert Mondavi per creare il primo vino icona del Cile, il Seña. Le prime bottiglie (annata 1995) furono commercializzate nel 1997 e rappresentano l’apice del loro impegno per produrre il miglior vino rosso premium del Paese. Questa mossa di tendenza ha spianato la strada al futuro dei vini cileni Ultra-Premium. Situata tra le dolci colline di Aconcagua, la proprietà di 350 ettari possiede 42 ettari vitati, coltivati con metodi agricoli biologici e biodinamici. L'assemblaggio varia da un'annata all'altra, ma è tipicamente composto da circa metà Cabernet Sauvignon, con una miscela variabile di varietà di Carménère, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc e Petit Verdot. Le uve fermentano in serbatoi d’acciaio inox a temperatura controllata, successivamente il vino invecchia in botti nuove di rovere francese per 22 mesi. Accolto con affetto da critici e appassionati, Seña è senza dubbio l'astro nascente del Cile.
