遵循直覺和家族傳承，智利名莊Chadwick的莊主Eduardo Chadwick 和加州葡萄酒之父Robert Mondavi精心打造了這款品質優異、個性獨特的葡萄酒。Seña是兩人精心合作的華彩樂章，一次充滿激情的旅程。在智利 Aconcagua 山谷找到最完美的沃土之前，Chadwick和 Mondavi 曾苦尋4年之久。在那裡，他們買下了350公頃的山坡處女地。
Seña是一款地道的智利佳釀，以最好的 Cabernet Sauvignon、Carmenere、Merlot、Malbec和Petit Verdot 混合釀成，堪稱智利最佳葡萄酒。
產地：
智利
種類：
紅葡萄酒
葡萄品種：
58% Cabernet Sauvignon、15% Carménère、12% Malbec、10% Merlot、5% Petit Verdot
釀造：
為確保最好的品質，所有葡萄均在清晨由人工採摘，用12公斤裝的籃子運送至酒廠後，在篩選台上經再三挑選，務必去除雜質及不完美的果實。之後存放於溫度控制在攝氏 24-28度 (華氏75-82度) 的不鏽鋼桶中進行發酵，並依葡萄品種所需萃取程度進行調整。
發酵過程中，每天要進行三次的淋汁作業，循環發酵 0.5 – 1.5倍的汁液。Cabernet Sauvignon、Merlot、Malbec 和 Carmenere 總浸皮時間約 9 - 40 天，Petit Verdot 則為 6 - 8天，實際浸皮時間依每區葡萄的生長狀況而有所不同。最後，裝入法國橡木桶 (75%為新桶) 陳放 22個月，靜待乳酸發酵及酒質穩定。
品酒筆記：
(James Suckling's rating: 99 points)
傳來黑加侖子、玫瑰花瓣和薄荷的美妙香氣，還有薰衣草和礦石感。酒體飽滿，果味密度令人難以置信。複雜，但又靈巧、明亮。單寧柔和，展示了波爾多一級葡萄酒的結構，但仍然保留了智利的特色。葡萄以生物動力法種植。2013年甚至比優秀的2012年更令人驚嘆。
Guided by intuition and backed by family heritage, Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi handcrafted a wine of distinctive quality and character. Seña is the culmination of their wonderful parternship and a passionate journey. Chadwick and Mondavi searched for four long years before finding the ideal Chilean terroir in Valle de Aconcagua. There, they acquired 350 hectares of virgin hillside land.
Seña is an authentic Chilean blend made from the finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot varieties, it is well renowned as the best Chilean wine.
Country of Origin:
Chile
Type:
Red/Rouge (Still)
Grape Varieties:
58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carménère, 12% Malbec, 10% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot
Vinification:
The grapes were handpicked in the morning and transported to the winery in 12-kg boxes for a careful inspection on a double sorting table to eliminate plant matter and defective berries. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks at 24°–28°C (75°–82°F), depending on the variety and the level of extraction desired. Three pumpovers were carried out daily during fermentation to rotate 0.5-1.5 times the volume of the tank.
Total maceration time ranged from 9 to 40 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Carmenere, and 6 to 8 days for the Petit Verdot, according to the development of each block vinifed. Final blend was racked to French oak barrels (75% new) and aged for 22 months, during which time malolactic fermentation and stabilization occurred naturally.
Tasting Notes:
(James Suckling's rating: 99 points)
Superb aromas of black currants, rose petal and mint. Lavender and stones too. Full body with incredible fruit density. Complex, yet it's agile and bright. Tannins are perfectly polished. It builds on the palate and shows the structure of a first growth Bordeaux but remains so Chilean. From biodynamically grown grapes. Even better than the amazing 2012.
