Seña has been one of South America’s most successful wines over the past quarter of a century. Seña began in 1995 as a joint venture between Eduardo Chadwick 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.
The blend in 2018 is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec, 15% Carmenère (the Chilean magic ingredient), 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Fermentation was in a combination of stainless-steel and concrete vats. The wine was matured in new barriques and Stockinger foudres for 22 months.
Seña 2018 has been a smash hit with critics - their highest-scoring vintage to date. James Suckling leads the way with a perfect 100 point score and comments: "The palate is more glamorous with ultra-fine tannins that envelop your palate. Shows power and vibrancy at the end. Toned muscles. It s a very intellectual wine that harkens back to the 2015."
100 points 2018 is the second vintage to score 100 points from James Suckling after the legendary 2015. This huge score is backed up by a highest-ever score from Wine Advocate meaning there is no doubt that 2018 is the greatest vintage of Seña ever. Luis Gutiérrez writes: "This has to be the finest vintage of Seña to date". 98 points.
