Description
A still red from Chile’s Aconcagua Valley, produced by Sena, an iconic Chilean blend born in 1995 from the collaboration between Robert Mondavi and Eduardo Chadwick. Blend: 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carmènere, 15% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, 2017 vintage, 0.75L bottle. A wine that embodies Chilean excellence, comparable to the great Bordeaux wines and the finest Super Tuscans. The grapes were hand-picked and transported to the winery in 12kg crates for careful inspection. 75% of the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks and 25% in concrete tanks at 23-28°C. Aged for 22 months in new French oak barrels (66%), second- and third-use French oak barrels (14%), and Stockinger foudres (20%). Enticing aromas of blueberry, cherry, clove, violet, and cassis, complemented by soft pastry notes with a final touch of licorice. On the palate, it’s juicy, very fresh, and lively, with tannins that provide support and structure to a wine with surprising persistence and personality.
