Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page. The estate does not publish the share of each grape variety: they are listed without proportions.

Footprint, parcels and their split are measured on the Compagnie Médocaine’s own parcel survey; elevation, slope and aspect on the Mapbox terrain-rgb digital terrain model, derived from IGN’s RGE ALTI over France. Compare with the blend on the technical sheet, at the top of the page: the two answer different questions.

Why buy it

The wine

Guided by a family legacy, Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi created a Chilean wine of quality and distinctive character. Seña is the result of their remarkable partnership and of a journey to the foot of the Andes.

Terroir

The Seña vineyard covers 42 hectares planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Syrah. The soils extend across the slopes of the valley and are extremely varied. The climate is a little cooler than the regions that traditionally produce Chilean red wines, yet warm enough for the grapes to reach an excellent level of ripeness. Harvest takes place on average two weeks later than in the vineyards situated further inside the valley.
