Sena, Aconcagua Valley 2016

Seña 2016 is one of Chile’s pioneering icon wines, created to demonstrate the country’s potential for producing world-class Bordeaux-style blends. Produced in the Aconcagua Valley, this distinguished red combines depth, freshness and polished structure, reflecting the vision shared by Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi when they founded Seña in 1995.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a deep ruby-red colour with vibrant violet highlights. Its expressive nose reveals ripe blueberries, cherries and delicate violet aromas, complemented by subtle notes of nuts and pastry. On the palate, Seña 2016 is fresh, full-bodied and juicy, with elegant tannins providing both refinement and structure. The balance between ripe fruit, freshness and oak suggests excellent cellaring potential, and the wine should continue to develop additional complexity with careful ageing.

Production
Seña is produced in Chile’s Aconcagua Valley, where the estate follows organic and biodynamic principles as part of its commitment to sustainable winegrowing. The wine is a blend of Bordeaux varieties and was matured for 22 months, with 88% aged in French oak barrels—73% of them new—and the remaining 12% in large foudres. This combination allows the wine to gain depth and complexity while preserving its freshness and fruit character.

Food & Serving
Serve Seña 2016 at approximately 16–18°C. It is an excellent match for roasted or grilled beef, lamb, venison and other richly flavoured red meats, as well as slow-cooked dishes and mature hard cheeses. Decant for around 1–2 hours before serving to help open the wine’s fruit and floral aromas, particularly if enjoyed in its youth.

Producer
Seña was founded in 1995 as a collaboration between Chilean winemaker Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi, united by the ambition to create a wine that would express Chile’s full potential. Based in the Aconcagua Valley, Seña became recognised as Chile’s first iconic wine. Its name means “sign” or “signature”, reflecting the shared passion and commitment behind the project, while its ongoing use of organic and biodynamic principles underlines the estate’s focus on quality and sustainability.
