Seña 2013

Ocoa, Aconcagua Valley - Chile

Seña was created as a joint venture between Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi back in 1995, with the dream
of making a wine that would show Chile’s full potential, a wine that would be welcomed, in time, among the world’s
First Growths. Modelled on a Bordeaux style, it would have a Chilean soul given by its Carmenere variety, grown
under biodynamic farming principles in the Aconcagua Valley.

Vintage 2013
Long, cool-season with balanced yields.
Fresh, elegant wines.

This exceptional season began with a cold winter, and gentle rains resulted in a relatively late but even bud break.
The spring was mild and frost-free, and the 60 millimetres of rain that fell in October slowed shoot growth until
flowering in November. Despite the active shoot growth at flowering, fruit set was good, and the grapes remained
healthy throughout the entire growing process.
Summer temperatures were moderately cool, and veraison was long and relatively slow, which allowed us to adjust
the fruit load to produce the balance needed for the number of bunches per plant. This was particularly important
during this chilly season to ensure good ripening, allow the sugar levels to rise gradually and evenly and for the grapes
to reach phenolic ripeness, and ultimately achieve wines that stand out for their elegance and freshness.
