Tasting notes
A unique blend of 33% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache, aged 18 months in French barrique, the 2022 Rocas de Seña is a vibrant introduction to the Seña winemaking style, accurately displayed in the poised, graceful style this wine delivers. The nose is fresh and lively with a savory, herbal background, introducing a suave, precise, plush palate. While this is juicier and less tensely structured than the Seña itself, there is no lack of bracing tension that props up and elongates the finish. This is a beautiful and overperforming wine with a singular identity.

Intense and a little austere at first, but quickly a juicy wave of redcurrant and bilberry fruit floods the palate. This is a dry vintage in Chile, although not particularly hot until the end of the growing season, giving good quality wines that need some time in bottle to loosen.
A linear and refined red with sweet berry, cherry, wildflower, lavender, rosemary flower and citrus undertones that follow through to a medium body with firm, fine tannins. Cream, pretty and spicy. Similar flavors on the finish. Second wine of Seña, made from two estates. A blend of 33% malbec, 25% syrah, 21% cabernet sauvginon, 9% petit verdot, 7% mourvedre and 5% grenache. Drink after 2027.
The 2022 Rocas de Seña blends 33% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 40% of them new, this purplish wine offers notes of sour cherry, plum, herbs, violets and a deep oaky layer. Indulgent and juicy on the palate, it presents a flavorful profile full of energy—a savory and rich Chilean red. Rocas de Seña emerged in 2021 as a Bordeaux-inspired second wine of Seña, although it's not entirely sourced from the Seña vineyard.
About the producer
Seña – literally meaning “signal” – was Chile’s first icon wine. In the early 1990s, the country had a reputation mainly for lower-end, high-volume wines, but Eduardo Chadwick, owner and president of Viña Errázuriz, set out to change that.
