Seña

Seña is a unique Bordeaux-style red blend with a very Chilean soul. Its predominant variety is Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Carmenere, which clearly ties it to Chile, while Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc round out the blend.

VINTAGE NOTES:

Very hot, low crop, very early season.

Scented, intense wines with full tannic structure.

Hot and sunny days marked the 2017 season. Nevertheless, thanks to its privileged coastal location in the Aconcagua Valley -only 40 kilometers away from the Pacific Ocean - the cool breezes that blow in moderated the temperatures. This combination of factors allowed Seña to reach perfect ripeness with a unique balance between concentration and power alongside tension, elegance and freshness.

Winter rains fully replenished our soils and a dry spring with average temperatures well above our records enabled an early bud break. Continuing with this trend, flowering also came in advance and a perfectly homogenous veraison began 15 days prior to historical dates, given the higher heat summation recorded from October to January.

This, together with low yields, set the stage for an early harvest that got ahead 20 days compared to historical dates, which was fundamental to preserve the freshness and elegance of Seña.
