Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi met on a trip around the Chilean wine country: at the end of the trip, they were both convinced that Chile had all the potential that California had shown two decades earlier and that together they could make an outstanding wine - the first icon wine of Chile - that could prove Chile’s world-class potential.
 
Tim Mondavi (Robert’s son) and Eduardo Chadwick conducted an extensive four-year search throughout the entire Aconcagua valley, ending up finding the perfect terroir in Ocoa. Tim was ahead of his time in insisting they seek out a cooler site in order to make a fresher, more elegant wine than was the norm in the mid-1990s.
 
From the beginning, one of Seña’s key goals was to work closely with nature while preserving natural resources. This led to implementing biodynamic farming, sustainable practices and organic agriculture very early on in the planning stages and the development of the Seña Vineyard.
 
SEÑA’s 42-hectare hillside vineyard was planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere, along with Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The volcanic and colluvial soils on the valley’s slopes present a variety of textures and proportions of stone content, resulting in a great diversity of well-drained gravel and rocky soils with loam to clay-loam texture.
 
Seña is a unique Bordeaux-style blend and is regularly benchmarked alongside First Growths and other top Cabernet based wines. It is known for complexity and structure, as well as fine-grained tannins and acidity.
