This blockbuster was born from a collaboration between Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi. The 2021 Seña is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Malbec, 17% Carmenere, and 6% Petit Verdot. Fermented 90% in stainless steel and 10% in concrete eggs, it has a controlled 14% alcohol and a pleasant freshness. It is subtle and layered, not just fruit but with more spice; it has polished tannins and well-integrated oak after 22 months in barriques, 78% new oak and 10% second-year (large Stockinger barrels).

"An extremely pure and elegant vintage for Seña. This is really fresh, nimble and floral on the nose with subtle cherries, plums, redcurrants and wild lavender. More red fruit here with lots of layers and just a touch of sweet spice. Very discreet and subtle, with the elegance, freshness and poise you'd expect from 2021. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with a bit more flesh and depth if you compare it with Roca de Seña, their second wine. The impeccable tannins show the supreme quality of the fruit this year. Persistent, seamless finish, but comes in a subtle way." 100 Points James Suckling

This is a double magnum version of 3 liters in OWC/1 - Even tastier, more festive and with a longer drinking window.

FACT: World-renowned winemakers Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi co-founded "The Berlin Tasting" in 2004. This replica of the 1976 "Jugement de Paris" showcases Chilean wines from around the world, alongside iconic wines like Château Lafite-Rotschild, Château Margaux, Stag's Leap, and Sassicaia. Chilean wines took an impressive four of the top five spots during tastings in Budapest and Hong Kong! The iconic Chilean wine, Seña, took first place in Budapest and, with its 2007 vintage, finished second behind Château Margaux in the Hong Kong tasting!

The Viña Seña winery is located in Valle de Aconcagua. It was founded in 1995 by two charismatic winemakers: the Chilean Eduardo Chadwick, the owner of Viña Errazurriz and legendary Californian Robert Mondavi. What started as an ambitious dream at the time - producing a world-class wine in Chile - has now found countless followers. Nevertheless, the Seña remains in a class of its own. The futuristic bodega, designed by the Chilean star architect Germán del Sol, is spectacular. But the main property of the winery is the 42 hectares of vineyards, surrounded by breathtaking nature on various soils and planted with cabernet sauvignon, carmenère, merlot, cabernet franc, petit verdot, malbec and syrah. In short, the traditional varieties. The conditions for growing wine are so good here that you can work organically without tools. Needless to say, a winery like Viña Seña has the very best and most modern technology in the wine cellar. The responsible oenologist has been Francisco Baettig since 2003, a student of Michel Laroche and Michel Rolland. The latter has even improved the five most recent volumes of the Seña. The joint venture with Robert Mondavi ended in 2005, but the visionary's spirit is still ubiquitous. Viña Seña is one of the greatest icons of the wine world.
