Description
Rocas de Seña 2022 – The expressive second wine of an icon
Rocas de Seña 2022 is much more than a 'second wine'. It is a top wine in its own right, born from the same terroir and philosophy as the famous Seña. The vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley here provide a lively, energetic expression of the domain, with a slightly more playful and accessible character.
The 2022 is a harmonious blend of 38% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 7% Carmenère and 3% Grenache. The wine was aged for 22 months in French oak, 50% of which was new, and partly in large foudres, which provides elegance and refinement without losing its power.
In the glass, the Rocas de Seña 2022 is deep garnet red. The nose is seductive and intense: ripe red and black fruits, such as blackberries, black cherries and plums, complemented by notes of violets, black pepper, liquorice and a subtle hint of cocoa bean. Juicy and dynamic on the palate, with silky tannins, lively acidity and a long, mineral finish.
Ideal to combine with grilled meat, mushroom risotto, or roasted vegetables with Mediterranean herbs.

Wijnhuis
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.
