ABOUT THIS WINE
Seña, produced by Viña Seña in Chile's Aconcagua Valley, is recognized as the country's first 'Icon Wine.'

The 2019 vintage was characterized by a cooler summer, promoting slow ripening and preserving acidity. The wine is a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with significant contributions from Malbec, Carmenere, and Petit Verdot.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Seña begins with grapes from the estate vineyard, farmed using biodynamic principles. The 2019 vintage harvest commenced on March 15th, benefiting from a slow ripening period. Fermentation primarily occurred in stainless steel tanks, with a small percentage in concrete vats. Following fermentation, the wine underwent an extensive aging period of 22 months. This maturation involved 80% new French oak barrels and 10% large Stockinger oak vats, contributing to the wine's structure and complexity.
