2021 Seña & Rocas de Seña En Primeur

'One of the finest vintages of the iconic Seña’

Luis Gutiérrez

Wine Advocate

We are delighted to offer you the superb 2021 Seña which receives 100 points from James Suckling and 98+ points from Luis Gutiérrez.
 
Seña was created as a joint venture between Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi in 1995 with the dream of making an internationally renowned wine that would be recognised as one of the world’s First Growths and show the full potential of winemaking in Chile. A Bordeaux inspired blend with a uniquely Chilean character, produced along biodynamic principles, the 2021 is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Malbec, 6% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot, and aged in mainly French oak barrels for 22 months. 
 
2021 will be remembered as an exceptional year in Chile with ideal conditions resulting in a vibrant wine of great purity. A cooler summer and a long ripening season allowed the grapes to reach perfect maturity. Beautifully aromatic with delicate strawberry, cassis and rose petal scents, succulent red fruit flavours are balanced by the juicy acidity and fine-grained tannins. Approachable now, the 2021 shows great ageing potential too. With such a high score, this stunning release is an excellent buy.
 
We also have a few cases of their exciting second wine, Rocas de Seña 2021 which receives 96 points from Suckling. A blend of 35% Malbec, 21% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Grenache, 9% Petit Verdot and 5% Mourvedre, the very elegant 2021 has a fine mineral finish – delicious for drinking over the next few years.
 
Offered en primeur, stock is expected to arrive this October. If you are interested in either of these wines, please contact us as soon as possible.

‘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. The impeccable tannins show the supreme quality of the fruit this year. Persistent, seamless finish, but comes in a subtle way. Effortlessly drinkable now, but it will age beautifully.’ 100 points, James Suckling
 
‘One of the finest vintages of the iconic Seña wine, the 2021 Seña comes from a cooler year, following the path of 2016 and 2018, certainly cooler than 2020 and 2019. It has a super expressive nose that is elegant, nuanced, perfumed, subtle and pure, with aromatic finesse, layered and complex…… It’s fine-grained and structured but juicy, similar to 2018 but with more finesse. It has the spicy/herbal twist from the Cabernet, ultra-refined tannins that give it great elegance and with length, purity and delineation. Superb!’ 
98+ points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate

£240 per 6 bottle case in bond
 
“Very racy, vibrant and intense with a heap of pure red fruit, full of strawberries, red cherries and a hint of spice, flowers and blue fruit. A subtle twist of mineral, too. Medium-bodied, linear, long and subtle on the palate, sandwiched by very fine, polished tannins. Precision and purity are the words. Elegant and slightly austere with a very long, subtle finish.’ 96 points, James Suckling
