Robert Mondavi and Eduardo Chadwick continue the tradition of excellence that has made Seña a benchmark for Chilean wines on the global stage.
Seña's second wine, the Rocas with its mix of the Mediterranean varietals from the lower hillside vineyards, Las Vertientes, and fruit from the Seña vineyards, gives panache and a more forward style. Vinous sums it up perfectly; “Indulgent and juicy on the palate, it presents a flavorful profile full of energy”.
Drinking window: 2025 - 2035
What the critics say:
"A linear and refined red with sweet berry, cherry, wildflower, lavender, rosemary flower and citrus undertones that follow through to a medium body with firm, fine tannins. Cream, pretty and spicy. Similar flavors on the finish. Second wine of Seña, made from two estates. A blend of 33% malbec, 25% syrah, 21% cabernet sauvginon, 9% petit verdot, 7% mourvedre and 5% grenache. Drink after 2027."
"The 2022 Rocas de Seña blends 33% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 40% of them new, this purplish wine offers notes of sour cherry, plum, herbs, violets and a deep oaky layer. Indulgent and juicy on the palate, it presents a flavorful profile full of energy—a savory and rich Chilean red. Rocas de Seña emerged in 2021 as a Bordeaux-inspired second wine of Seña, although it's not entirely sourced from the Seña vineyard."
"A unique blend of 33% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache, aged 18 months in French barrique, the 2022 Rocas de Seña is a vibrant introduction to the Seña winemaking style, accurately displayed in the poised, graceful style this wine delivers. The nose is fresh and lively with a savory, herbal background, introducing a suave, precise, plush palate. While this is juicier and less tensely structured than the Seña itself, there is no lack of bracing tension that props up and elongates the finish. This is a beautiful and overperforming wine with a singular identity."
