Mondavi & Chadwick

Seña 2015

Chadwick

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 100.0

The joint venture of Eduardo Chadwick (Errazuriz) and Robert Mondavi (Opus One), Seña was created with the initial aim of rivalling the incredible First Growths of Bordeaux. Taking to the global stage in 1997 after launching their 1995 vintage, Seña combines traditional Bordeaux winemaking practices with the sublime terroir of Chile’s Aconcagua Valley.

The wine comprises a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and the indigenous Chilean grape: Carmenere. A superbly fresh wine, expect flavours and aromas of blueberries, raspberries and spices.

Anthony Rose

A joint venture between Viña Errazuriz and Robert Mondavi in 1995, Seña became wholly owned by Eduardo Chadwick’s Errazuriz in 2005. His belief in Seña as a terroir wine led him to introduce biodynamic viticulture in the same year. A Bordeaux-style blend, Seña is sourced from a 43ha mountain vineyard in the Aconcagua Valley. Precisely monitored for optimum harvesting date, the vineyard is characterised by warm sunny days and cool nights, hence ideal ripening conditions for a long hang-time of nearly 140 days. Maturation for 22 months in French oak and Stockinger foudres moderates the unique expression of Aconcagua’s intensity with the desired textural finesse. Chadwick’s series of vertical blind tastings held around the world cemented Seña’s place in the Chilean hall of fame. This deep-hued blend shows subtle smoke and chocolate powder behind vivid, plump, fleshy mulberry fruit, supported by a slim veneer of toffee and vanilla oak whose youthful, sinewy tannins frame an appetisingly savoury finish.

James Suckling

Stunning aromas of blackcurrant, stone, blueberry and licorice. Also iodine. Floral. Perfumed. Full body, fantastic density of fruit and ripe tannins. It goes on for minutes on the palate with such energy and focus. Touch of chewiness on the finish. A complex and complete wine that delivers a generosity with firmness. Drink in 2021 but already a classic to drink.
