The 2021 vintage is exceptional, and continues Seña's growth within the luxury wine market worldwide
NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Chilean icon wine estate Seña is excited to announce the release of the 2021 vintage onto the fine wine market. Seña 2021, a highly-regarded vintage, represents the prestigious Chadwick family portfolio, which exists in the upper echelon of the world's fine wines, among some of the globe's most sought-after, renowned wines.
Seña was created in 1995, a joint venture between two pioneers in wine, Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi, who shared a dream of making a wine that would show the full potential of Chile. Through their vision, they gave life to Chile's first icon wine. Seña is modeled on a Bordeaux style, with a Chilean soul, grown under biodynamic farming principles in the Aconcagua Valley. This release continues to highlight Chilean terroir as being among the best in the world.
"We are thrilled to continue our upward trajectory in the US market as one of Chile's key luxury estates. The Seña 2021 vintage, which has already received a 100-point score, is no exception to our reputation of excellence," notes Seña Executive Director Magui Chadwick, Eduardo's daughter. "This newest release from Seña is proof that Chilean wines deserve to exist within the fine wine space worldwide."
Eduardo Chadwick put Chilean fine wine on the map in January, 2004 with The Berlin Tasting, a blind tasting inspired by The Judgement of Paris, with some of the world's top wine critics and involving his wines alongside some of the world´s most famous Grand Crus of Bordeaux and Super Tuscans. The enormous success of his wines, besting some of these revered wines and replicated in the other tastings around the world, served as a turning point in the wine industry, solidifying the incredible quality of Chadwick's wines as well as Chile's rightful place as a formidable wine region of the world.
The 2021 vintage is a reminder of the undeniable quality and evolution of Chilean wine over the last two decades, and is a testament to the longevity of the estate, and the consistent quality of the terroir and the estate's viticultural expertise.
The 2021 vintage of Seña is a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Carménère and Petit Verdot, with beautiful ruby and violet hues. Francisco Baettig, Seña's Technical Director, explains, "The nose reveals delicate notes of strawberries, cassis and rose petals, framed by hints of cloves, spice and cocoa. Red fruit and blackcurrants, pastries and dark chocolate make for a delicious palate where the tension is perfectly balanced by the juicy acidity and fine-grained tannins, tracing a smooth and vertical backbone through the palate. This wine can be enjoyed for many years to come."
The 2021 vintage will be remembered as an exceptional year with ideal conditions, resulting in a vibrant wine of great purity. Seña 2021 is a wine with high aromatic complexity, refreshing acidity, a delicious linear palate with fine-grained tannins and an extraordinary aging potential.
Seña is released worldwide on La Place de Bordeaux, as well as imported into the US by Shaw-Ross on September 7, 2023.
