Seña

The Sena vineyard is located in the western part of the Aconcagua Valley, 41 km from the Pacific Ocean and 100 km north-west of Santiago, Chile's capital. It covers 42 hectares planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Syrah. Due to its location, Sena 's climate is cooler than other red wine-producing areas. However, it is warm enough for each grape variety to reach optimum ripeness. Harvesting generally takes place two weeks later than in the region's other, more inland vineyards.

The Sena terroir is located on the colluvial soils of the Aconcagua Valley hillsides, containing a diversity of textures and varying amounts of rock. There are large quantities of gravel, rock and loam.

Sena was bottled for the first time in 1995, and since then it has received rave reviews. Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi - who passed away in 2008 - have achieved their goal.

In the interests of quality, the Sena vineyard is now farmed biodynamically.
