The 2019 Seña is a vibrant, ripe, yet incredibly refined red from this iconic estate. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Malbec, 15% Carmenère, and 4% Petit Verdot, it shows refinement of tannins, poise, and a long and stony finish. There’s tons of energy here, and a slightly smoky finish. This is quintessentially Chilean, but with real poise.

The top Chilean wine for Domaines de Baron Rothschild, made from 70 year old vines. Full of bright, rich new world fruit character but with the structure and savoury hints of Bordeaux.

"Wonderful aromas of black olives, meat and currants. Hints of fresh mint. Full to medium body, with sublime tannin texture that feels like the finest silk. A finish that lasts for minutes. Palate has amazing energy of richness and freshness. A great wine. So layered and balanced." 98 points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

Deep in the glass, the nose exudes sumptuous black fruit and sweet cassis, allied to more herbal nuances. On the palate, cassis fruit leads the way, with notes of blackcurrant leaf, herbs, spice and cocoa. There is a cool-climate sense of precision, with fine tannins providing a gentle grip. Juicy, layered with an enlivening note of acidity revealed towards a long-drawn finish.

Don Melchor, from stony soils in the Maipo valley, is among the new world’s highest-rated Cabernet Sauvignon, with the capacity to cellar for decades. Brimming with fresh red fruits and brambly, herbal, and vanilla complexity, this is truly one of Chile’s finest wines.

Romelio is found at the north of the Maule Valley, and is a field blend of mostly Malbec on decomposed granite. The grapes are picked early, meaning this wine is all about freshness and vibrancy. Delicious.
