Seña’s mission is to produce a world-class wine that captures the essence of the best grapes and terroir from the Aconcagua Valley. To achieve this, the winemaking team crafts Seña through a blend of six of the classic red varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Cabernet Sauvignon provides the structure while the other varieties add a subtle grace and elegance that classify Seña as a complex world-class wine.

The grapes for Seña are sourced from Seña Hillside vineyards within the Aconcagua Valley. The morning fog present at the estate and the potentially slower maturation patterns produce intense and distinctive fruit aromas that heighten the complexity of the blend.

Fruit for Seña is hand harvested into 15 kilo flats in mid-march to late April. Upon arriving at the winery, the grapes undergo a careful berry-by-berry selection. The lots are gently crushed and then fermented at 26º to 28º Celsius. A total maceration of 25 to 35 days occurs at 18º Celsius. The wine is then aged in medium-toast new French oak barrels. We use barrels from different coopers including, Taransaud, Demptos, Sylvain, Radoux, and, Vicard. Lots are kept separate during barrel ageing until the final blend is made.

The wine is bottled in February of each year until the final blend is made.
