Seña
written by Amanda Barnes
Seña started as an adventure between Robert Mondavi and Eduardo Chadwich (of Errázuriz) in 1995 which gave birth to iconic red blend from Aconcagua. One of the most sought-after wines in Chile, Seña was the country’s first notable international collaboration and continues to preside as one of the icons of Chile.
The rich, complex and ageworthy wine is Cabernet Sauvignon dominant but also includes Carmenère, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The grapes all come from a volcanic vineyard in central Aconcagua, 40 kilometres from the sea, which offers both ripe intensity and freshness to the wine. Vintages are increasingly elegant and Seña is also converting its vineyard to be certified biodynamic.
