2021 Rocas de Sena

Rocas de Seña, a wine that proudly bears the Seña's signature Rocas de Seña takes its name from the rocky soils found in the Aconcagua Valley in tribute to its geography. Those soils lend unique characteristics to the wine, and the large volcanic rocks are reminiscent of the holistic landscape in the vineyard. The launch of Seña’s second wine aims to continue exploring the expression of our terroir with a unique blend from selected blocks of our Seña vineyard and the addition of the Mediterranean varieties that flourish in the Aconcagua Valley to deliver elegance and a youthful freshness. The 2021 vintage - Vibrant, precise and intense wine An outstanding vintage due to moderately cool conditions that translated into a slow smooth ripening of the grapes. Weather conditions This winter saw average rainfall with 282mm falling between May and October and this enabled the aquifers in the valley to recover their levels ready for the coming season. With a total heat summation of 1,425 DD, slightly fresher than historical averages, that created an ideal slow growing season. In spring, the temperatures were within historical levels favouring a perfect fruit set. The summer was slightly cooler and cloudier than other years, with some refreshing rain (9mm) in late January, which ensured a gentle ripening of healthy grapes. During late March, the Seña vineyards were blessed with moderately warm days, allowing the grapes to reach perfect maturity. The 2021 vintage will be remembered as an exceptional year with ideal conditions. A wine that showcases great aromatic purity and precision, with refreshing acidity and silky tannins, with an extraordinary linear palate. Tasting notes “A purple-coloured wine with subtle aromas of violets, sage, cherries and blueberries that give way to soft toast notes and hints of dill and cloves. On the palate, Rocas de Seña 2021 showcases layers of fresh fruit like strawberries, sour cherries, pomegranate and blueberries along with savoury notes of pastries and nuts. It is fresh and juicy with pleasant, fine-grained tannins followed by a long linear and vibrant finish.” Francisco Baettig, Winemaker
