The name Seña is Spanish for distinguishing mark or personal signature, signifying that Chile produces world-class wine.

A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 25% malbec, 9% carmenere, 6% petit verdot. Beautiful fruit expression, clear and well defined, lovely texture, concentrated but smooth and round, full of sweet, juicy ripe fruits with a chalky, creamy texture underpinned by lifted acidity.

Critic Scores

98 // James Suckling

"Extremely bright flowers and citrus with graphite, currants and blueberries. The nose is like going into a flower shop. Medium- to full-bodied with extremely polished tannins that caress your palate. Firm at the finish, which tells you that there is plenty coming in the future. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 25% malbec, 9% carmenere, 6% petit verdot. Try after 2028, but already open and enticing."

97 // The Drinks Business

"Seña 2022 (Valle del Aconcagua; 60% Cabernet Sauvignon; 25% Malbec; 9% Carmenere; 6% Petit Verdot; aged in oak barrels, 70% of which are new, and foudres; 13.5% alcohol; tasted twice, the second time with Francisco Baettig over Zoom). Wild and herbal, spicy and quite meaty too, with a wild, dusty earthy streak to it. Impressively floral, more and more so as it inhales and relaxes in the glass, with lavender, thyme and violet, a hint of rose, maybe a suggestion of saffron. Blood orange. Blue and black fruit. The rose petal notes bloom with time and gentle aeration. There’s also lots of fresh bright peppery notes – crushed green, rose and Szechuan peppercorns. Turmeric and cumin too. On the palate this is fresh, gracious, bright, lifted and very lithe and dynamic, above all in the luminous and crystalline mid-palate. Sinuous. Glistening and rippling on the finish. Almost gentle. Certainly one of the more delicate vintages of this wine that I’ve tasted. Long. Fine-grained and ripe tannins aided but the slow and stable maturation, due to residual water presence. More structured on the finish than the 2021. Singular. - Colin Hay"

97 // The Wine Advocate

"The 2022 Seña enters on a reticent note, quietly opening up to reveal a dark, leather-bound nose with hints of turned earth, cedar, licorice and graphite accents that manage a levity and high-toned energy. The palate is lively and spry, driven by bright treble tones balanced with weighty, broad depth and a perfectly suave texture. The finish is juicy yet tense, structured and refined, with impressive length and coiled energy. Ever-expanding in the glass, this is a gorgeous, energetic and exuberant example of poise and clarity that should be a pleasure to follow in the cellar. It's a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 9% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot aged 18 months mainly in French barrique with some foudre. - Matthew Luczy"

Description

Seña started life in 1995 as a collaboration between the late Robert Mondavi in California and Eduardo Chadwick of Viño Errázuriz - located in the Aconcagua Valley north of Santiago, Chile. The grapes for Seña are sourced from Seña Hillside vineyards within the Aconcagua Valley, in which vines are grown according to bio-dynamic principles.
The outstanding 2022 vintage benefited from ideal conditions during the growing season. The season was marked by a slightly lower crop, dry conditions, and average temperatures during the ripening period, that were perfectly in line with our historical records. A harmonious and gentle growing season, for concentrated and elegant wines.
“Bright cherry colour with violet nuances. Perfumed and complex in the nose, with notes of fresh fruit like plums, blueberries, and lavender, unfolding subtle notes of sweet spices, cedar, and graphite. This is a captivating wine that shows a beautiful balance between tension and ampleness, filling the palate completely with a lingering sensation.” - Francisco Baettig, Winemaker

Seña

Guided by intuition and backed by family heritage, Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi handcrafted a wine of distinctive quality and character. Seña is the culmination of their wonderful parternship and a passionate journey.

The Chilean Wine industry and Viña Seña will remember January 23rd, 2004, as the day of the ‘Berlin Tasting’. Thirty-six of Europe’s most highly regarded wine journalists, writers and buyers met in Berlin to blind taste sixteen wines - six Chilean, six French and four Italian - from the 2000 and 2001 vintages. Divided by country and vintage, there were three Chilean 2001 wines; three French 2001 wines; four Italian 2000 wines and three apiece from Chile and France from the 2000 vintage.

In an historic decision, established French classics such as Château Lafite, Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Italian cult wines Tignanello, Sassicaia, Solaia and Guado al Tasso were placed by judges a distance behind the two winning wines, both from Chile.

Viñedo Chadwick 2000 from Viña Errázuriz’s was placed first ahead of Seña 2001 and in third place came Château Lafite 2000.

In 1995 Robert Mondavi and Eduardo Chadwick pioneered an international joint venture with a very challenging goal: to reach the full potential of Chile’s wine country and to create a world-class Icon-level wine like none other in Chile. Sharing their dream, efforts and dedication, in 1997 they released the first vintage of Seña (1995), Chile’s first icon wine. This marked a milestone and initiated the path for making ultra-premium wines in Chile.
