2019 Seña

Seña 2019 is a landmark Chilean red that seamlessly marries Bordeaux tradition with Chile’s unique Andean character. Crafted from a classic blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Malbec, 15% Carmenere and 4% Petit Verdot, it delivers both power and poise, with Carmenere adding a distinctly Chilean signature. This 25th anniversary vintage has been hailed by critics (98/100 Parker & Suckling) and continues the legacy of Seña as one of Chile’s most important and collectible icon wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2019 Seña shows a deep, vibrant ruby colour with youthful purple hues at the rim, signalling concentration and freshness. The nose is remarkably refined and complex: floral notes of violets and rose petals mingle with blackcurrant, ripe plum and wild berries, layered with hints of orange zest, cocoa, subtle cedar and a touch of sweet, creamy spice from fine French oak. On the palate, this is medium-bodied yet intense, with a seamless, silky texture and superb balance between ripe fruit, lively acidity and polished tannins. Flavours of black cherry, cassis and mulberry unfold alongside notes of tobacco leaf, graphite, dark chocolate and exotic spice, all carried by a striking freshness. The finish is long, pure and finely etched, with great definition and a lingering mineral note. Already harmonious and elegant in its youth, the 2019 has the structure and acidity to age beautifully for 15–20 years or more, rewarding patience with greater complexity and tertiary nuances.

Production
Seña is grown in the Aconcagua Valley, where the vineyards benefit from a unique terroir combining Andean foothills, cooling Pacific breezes and diverse, well-drained soils of clay, gravel and alluvial origin. The climate is warm yet moderated by the Humboldt Current and afternoon winds, allowing for slow, even ripening and excellent natural acidity. Grapes are carefully hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and rigorously sorted to ensure only the finest berries make the cut. Fermentation takes place primarily in stainless steel tanks, with around 10% in concrete vats to enhance purity and texture. After blending, the wine is aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, about 80% new, with an additional portion raised in large Stockinger casks to bring complexity and finesse without overwhelming the fruit. The result is a wine that expresses both modern precision and a deep sense of place.

Food & Serving
Seña 2019 is a superb partner for refined, flavourful meat dishes – think dry-aged ribeye, roast lamb with herbs, venison, or game birds in rich jus. It also works beautifully with slow-braised short ribs, truffle-infused dishes, mushroom ragout, and aged hard cheeses like Comté or Manchego. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) for optimal expression. If enjoyed young, decant for 1–2 hours to allow the aromas and texture to fully unfurl; with additional bottle age, a gentle 30–45 minute decant will help the wine open up without losing its delicacy.

Producer
Seña was founded in the mid-1990s as a visionary joint venture between Chilean wine pioneer Eduardo Chadwick and Napa legend Robert Mondavi, with the explicit goal of creating a world-class Chilean wine that could stand alongside the greatest reds of Bordeaux and beyond. Based in the Aconcagua Valley, Seña quickly became a benchmark for quality and helped redefine global perceptions of Chilean wine. Its reputation was cemented by the now-famous Berlin Tasting and subsequent international blind tastings, where Seña placed ahead of iconic names such as Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Margaux, Stag’s Leap and Sassicaia. Today, Seña is regarded as one of Chile’s true icon wines, celebrated for its elegance, age-worthiness and consistent critical acclaim across vintages.
