D.O. Aconcagua Valley
Valparaiso, Chile
Seña was established in the 1990’s as a collaborative venture in Chile between Chadwick Robert Mondavi.
Since 2005 Seña is owned 100% by the Chadwick family, proprietors of Errázuriz, and is the personal project of Eduardo Chadwick.
Eduardo's ambition was to create a Chilean iconic wine that would fully express the terroir of the Aconcagua Valley. The first vintage of Seña came out in 1995.
Also referred to by the press as the “Opus One of Chile” (since Opus One was the result of the collaboration between Rothschild and Mondavi), the wine is made from a blend of six of the classic red grape varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
The grapes for Seña are sourced from Seña Hillside vineyards within the Aconcagua Valley, in which vines are grown according to biodynamic principles.
