2021 Rocas de Seña, Chadwick, Aconcagua Valley, Chile

The second wine of Sena, this is approachable sooner, with soft blackcurrant and black plum fruit, along with some sappier red berries on the palate. There's plenty of creamy, mocha notes and rounded tannins. It has subtle herbal freshness throughout and offers a taste of why this estate is so celebrated globally.

Tasting notes

The 2021 Rocas de Seña is a blend of 35% Malbec, 21% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Grenache, 9% Petit Verdot, and 5% Mourvèdre from Ocoa in the Aconcagua Valley. It was aged for 22 months, 95% in French oak barrels (40% new) and 5% in concrete eggs. Purple in hue. The complex nose presents pomegranate and fresh plum notes with hints of sage, garrigue and flowers over a faint bed of ash. Dry and smooth in the mouth, refreshing acidity supports polished, juicy tannins. A balanced wine of lingering fruity flavor. Quite young right now, it will grow in the bottle.
