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.

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.
A warm summer tempered by morning fog off the coast gave rapid, even ripening: harvest brought forward by a week, berries that stayed small, intense, structured wines.
Marked drought — 75 mm against a valley average of 219 mm — on seasonal temperatures: a reduced but concentrated harvest, with well-held acidity and color.
“Best score”: the highest score recorded for this wine, with its source. “Character”: the overall reading of the year across the appellation, which an estate may depart from.
