O Produtor, tasting note published in February 22nd 2023

A purple-coloured wine with subtle aromas of violets, sage, cherries and blueberries that give way to soft toast notes and hints of dill and cloves. On the palate, Rocas de Seña 2021 showcases layers of fresh fruit like strawberries, sour cherries, pomegranate and blueberries along with savoury notes of pastries and nuts. It is fresh and juicy with pleasant, fine-grained tannins followed by a long linear and
vibrant finish.

Rocas de Seña

Rocas de Seña is named after the rocky soils found in the Aconcagua Valley, in homage to its geography. These soils impart unique characteristics to the wine, and the large volcanic rocks reflect the vineyard’s holistic landscape. The launch of this wine aims to continue exploring the expression of this terroir with a unique blend of selected parcels from the Seña vineyard and the addition of Mediterranean varieties (Syrah and Grenache) that thrive on another Chadwick family estate in the Aconcagua Valley, providing elegance and youthful freshness.

The season saw average rainfall with 282mm falling between May and October and this enabled the aquifers in the valley to recover their levels ready for the coming season. With a total heat summation of 1,425 DD, slightly fresher than historical averages, that created an ideal slow growing season. In spring, the temperatures were within historical levels favouring a perfect fruit set. The summer was slightly cooler and cloudier than other years, with some refreshing rain (9mm) in late January, which ensured a gentle ripening of healthy grapes. During late March, the vineyards were blessed with moderately warm days, allowing the grapes to reach perfect maturity.

The 2021 vintage will be remembered as an exceptional year with ideal conditions. A wine that showcases great aromatic purity and precision, with refreshing acidity and silky tannins, with an extraordinary linear palate.

Ageing: 22 months, 95% in French oak barrels (40% new) and 5% in concrete eggs.

Sena

Seña was created in 1995 as a joint venture between Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi, who shared a dream of making a wine that would show Chile’s full potential, a wine that would come to be welcomed, in time, among the world’s First Growths. Modelled on a Bordeaux style, it would have a Chilean soul given by its Carmenere variety, grown under biodynamic farming principles in the Aconcagua Valley.
