Red dry
Seña 2022 marks the 28th vintage of this legendary Chilean estate, once again affirming its status as one of the most iconic South American wines. The winery was one of the first in the world to adopt biodynamic viticulture.
The wine's aroma is vivid and pure – notes of ripe cherries, plums, and red currants are beautifully complemented by hints of sweet spices. On the palate, it reveals youthful fruit, gentle spice, and elegant, silky tannins that lend the finish a sense of softness and depth.
The grapes are grown on the hillsides of the Aconcagua Valley, in a 42-hectare vineyard with colluvial soils. This is a finely tuned blend of grape varieties: 'Cabernet Sauvignon' 60%, 'Malbec' 25%, 'Carmenère' 9%, and 'Petit Verdot' 6%. Each variety has been carefully combined to highlight its unique character.
After fermentation, the wine was aged for 22 months – predominantly in new French oak barrels (90%), with a portion matured in large-format foudre oak casks (10%).
Serve at 16-18 °C with oven-roasted or barbecued beef, lamb, quail and other wild game meats.
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.
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.
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.
