Description
2022 Seña Rocas de Seña is a polished Chilean red that showcases the coastal elegance of Aconcagua in a more approachable, vibrant style than the flagship Seña. Crafted as a premium companion wine, it highlights rocky, ocean-influenced terroirs and a blend of Bordeaux and Mediterranean varieties that bring both freshness and depth. This cuvée continues Seña’s pioneering vision of world-class Chilean wine, offering a modern, terroir-driven expression with immediate drinkability and serious character.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Rocas de Seña shows a deep, vivid ruby to purple hue with youthful brightness at the rim. The nose opens with dark berries and red plum, followed by layers of wild herbs, violets, cracked pepper and hints of graphite and subtle oak spice.
On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied with a sleek, refined texture and energetic acidity that keeps the wine lifted and drinkable. Ripe blackberries, cherries and blue fruits are framed by notes of cocoa, dried Mediterranean herbs and a saline, mineral edge that clearly nods to its rocky, coastal origins. Fine-grained tannins give structure without harshness, making it enjoyable now while promising further complexity. Enjoyable in its youth for its purity of fruit and vibrancy, it should evolve gracefully for 6–10 years under good cellar conditions.
Production
Rocas de Seña is sourced from Seña’s vineyards in Chile’s coastal Aconcagua area, where cool Pacific breezes and poor, rocky, granitic soils naturally limit yields and enhance concentration. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity, with careful selection in both the vineyard and winery. The blend brings together mostly red varieties typical of Bordeaux and the Mediterranean, each parcel fermented separately in temperature-controlled vessels to capture its distinct character. Aging takes place in a combination of French oak barrels (largely used or lightly toasted) and, in part, larger vessels to balance subtle oak influence with a clear expression of fruit and terroir.
Food & Serving
This wine is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with grilled lamb, marinated flank steak, roast pork with herbs, duck, or richer poultry dishes. It also works well with earthy mushroom dishes, charcuterie, aged hard cheeses and Mediterranean-inspired fare such as roasted vegetables, tomato-based stews and herb-rubbed meats. Serve at 16–18°C (60–65°F) to highlight its freshness and aromatic complexity. A brief decant of 30–45 minutes is recommended in its youth to soften the tannins and allow the floral and mineral notes to fully emerge.
Producer
Seña was founded in the mid-1990s as a visionary partnership that helped place Chile firmly on the map of world-class fine wine, particularly in the Aconcagua region. The estate quickly became a benchmark for Chilean reds, known for combining Old World finesse with New World purity of fruit, and for a strong commitment to organic and biodynamic farming. Over the years, Seña has earned critical acclaim and international recognition for its flagship wine, and Rocas de Seña extends that legacy by offering a more immediately accessible yet still terroir-focused expression. Today, the estate is regarded as one of Chile’s leading producers, instrumental in showcasing Aconcagua’s potential for refined, ageworthy reds with a distinct coastal signature.
