Seña in wenigen Worten

Seña wurde 1995 als Joint Venture von Eduardo Chadwick und Robert Mondavi gegründet, die den Traum teilten, einen chilenischen Wein herzustellen, der irgendwann zu den ersten Crus der Welt gezählt werden sollte.

Der Jahrgang 2021

Die Niederschlagsmenge zwischen Mai und Oktober füllte die Wasserreserven der Böden wieder auf. Die relativ milden Wetterbedingungen ohne Hitzespitzen waren ideal für ein optimales vegetatives Wachstum und den Fruchtansatz. Der Sommer war kühl und bewölkt, was eine gute Reifung der Trauben begünstigte. Die Weinlese fand von Mitte März bis in den April hinein statt und brachte einen Jahrgang von hoher Qualität hervor.

Dans la presse

An extremely pure and elegant vintage for Seña. This is really fresh, nimble and floral on the nose with subtle cherries, plums, redcurrants and wild lavender. More red fruit here with lots of layers and just a touch of sweet spice. Very discreet and subtle, with the elegance, freshness and poise you’d expect from 2021. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with a bit more flesh and depth if you compare it with Roca de Seña, their second wine. The impeccable tannins show the supreme quality of the fruit this year. Persistent, seamless finish, but comes in a subtle way. 50% cabernet sauvignon, 27% malbec, 17% carmenere and 6% petit verdot. Effortlessly drinkable now, but it will age beautifully.

One of the finest vintages of the iconic Seña wine, the 2021 Seña comes from a cooler year, following the path of 2016 and 2018, certainly cooler than 2020 and 2019. It has a super expressive nose that is elegant, nuanced, perfumed, subtle and pure, with aromatic finesse, layered and complex. It was picked a couple of weeks later than in the previous two years and still keeping the alcohol below 14%. It was produced with a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Malbec (cooler years with more), 17% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot, fermented mostly in stainless steel and 10% in oak foudre. It's fine-grained and structured but juicy, similar to 2018 but with more finesse. It has the spicy/herbal twist from the Cabernet, ultra-refined tannins that give it great elegance and with length, purity and delineation. Superb! 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.
