Red dry
An iconic Chilean wine. A balanced, youthful, full-bodied wine distinguished by elegance and firm structure, silky tannins and intense aromas, with fresh, lively acidity. The wine is aged for 22 months in French oak barrels (65% new). Layers of fresh berries, spices and balsamic notes interweave with a hint of smoke.
The name Rocas de Seña comes from the rocky soils found in the Aconcagua Valley, paying tribute to the geography. The soil imparts unique characteristics to the wine, while the large volcanic rocks evoke the holistic landscape of the vineyard.
Serve at 16–18 °C with beef, lamb, quail and other wild poultry cooked in the oven or over embers.
Focused nose, showing fresh red chili chocolate with cigar, truffle, mint, olive and grilled meat. This is a medium-to full-bodied red with incredibly juicy and bright fruit and fine, caressing tannins that linger in the long, creamy but precise finish. Elegant and extremely drinkable with complexity. on top of 38% malbec, 25% syrah, 15% cabernet sauvignon, 14% grenache and 8% petit verdot. The real deal. Second wine of Seña.
An enticing nose offers notes of blackberry and blueberry alongside green bell pepper, light notes of cassis add to its complexity. On the well-structured palate, chalky but firm tannins reveal plum, blackberry, cherry and eucalyptus. Vibrant acidity balances out the flavors throughout the delicious finish. This Malbec-based blend, with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Petit Verdot, is fresh and bold with good aging potential.
A new second wine here, the 2020 Rocas de Seña is named after the rocky soils from Seña is different as it includes Mediterranean grapes in the blend. This is the first vintage produced, and it’s a blend of 38% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Grenache (from their property in Vertientes, where the Syrah also comes from) and 8% Petit Verdot from selected plots from their property in Aconcagua. 2020 was warm and dry and saw an early harvest that delivered concentrated and powerful wines, this one at 14% alcohol and with a pH of 3.53 and 6.09 grams of acidity. It fermented mostly in stainless steel and 10% in concrete eggs, and the blend matured for 22 months in French oak barrels, 65% of them new. The nose is very expressive, and the palate is juicy and textured palate, a little warmer and riper than the Seña, with that Mediterranean twist from the Garnacha and Syrah. It has an intense nose, quite primary, with red berries, herbs and even a citrus touch, but there is no sweetness at all. The fine tannins have grip, and the finish is dry and serious. The élevage was similar to the Seña, but in the future, they might go for a slightly shorter élevage and use some foudres. The wine has a very nice bright color and is still young and lively, very much in the serious and elegant style of the Seña, despite the warm inaugural vintage, showing in the juicy palate.
Dešimtojo dešimtmečio pradžioje Čilė tik įsiveržė į tarptautinį vyno pasaulį. Tačiau Eduardo Chadwickas, kuris 1983 m. prisijungė prie savo tėvo šeimos vyno verslo Viña Errázuriz, jau iš savo ilgų kelionių po pasaulio vyno regionus suprato, kad Čilės žemė ir klimatas yra ypač tinkami geriems vynams gaminti. Ir kai šeimos draugas ir vyndaris Agustinas Huneeusas paprašė jo šiek tiek laiko parodyti Robertui Mondavi ir jo žmonai Margrit Čilės vyno šalį, jis apsidžiaugė turėdamas tokią galimybę. Nuo to laiko Eduardo Chadwick & Robert Mondavi sujungė savo jėgas ir dirba tikėdami, kad Čilė turi visą potencialą, kurį Kalifornija parodė prieš du dešimtmečius, ir kad kartu jie gali pagaminti išskirtinį vyną – tikrą ikoną, galintį įrodyti Čilės pasaulinio lygio potencialą.
