📖 Sena喺1995年由美國葡萄酒之父Robert Mondavi聯同重量級智利酒莊Vina Errazuriz莊主Eduardo Chadwick合作創立，Robert Mondavi相信酒友都知佢亦同波爾多一級莊Mouton聯手創立咗美國神級酒莊Opus One1️⃣而Vina Errazuriz就係智利老牌重量級酒莊，長年生產高分酒款將智利酒推出世界✨

咁嘅強大組合，再以波爾多經典基底加上智利靈魂葡萄Carmenere, 果然造出另一神級之作🔝除咗各大酒評多年高分肯定之外，最出名嘅係喺2004年著名嘅柏林盲品會中，以2001年Sena擊敗第三名嘅Lafite🤯以2000年Sena同2001年嘅Margaux並列第四🤯要知道16款參賽酒當中包括波爾多五大同意大利嘅Sassicaia、Solaia等頂級名莊，自此令Sena甚至智利酒走上神枱📈

Sena葡萄園地處智利阿空加瓜穀西側，距離太平洋40公里。葡萄園面積達42公頃，種植的品種有 Carmenere、 Cabernet Sauvignon、 Merlot、 Cabernet Franc、 Syrah等。呢到氣候屬地中海氣候，旱季較長。由於靠近太平洋，涼爽嘅海風能有效平衡氣溫，涼爽但都足以讓葡萄達到完美嘅成熟度。土壤方面，山谷斜坡嘅崩積土壤中含有礫石、黏土同大小不等嘅石塊，形成良好排水性。 

酒莊為了最大限度提高品質，會喺低溫嘅清晨就手摘精選葡萄，經過精心篩選後大部份喺不銹鋼桶發酵，跟據唔同品種調教唔同溫度，以達到理想嘅提取程度。另外有6％葡萄喺全新法國橡木桶發酵，喺發酵過程中，需每日進行3次淋皮，充分萃取顏色、單寧同風味。浸泡時間都根據品種同每一地塊而定。最後喺88%法國桶陳22個月，73%為新桶，其餘12%大桶陳熟。

近年釀酒師Francisco Baettig對酒精、酒體、酸度更精準嘅掌控令本身較粗獷嘅智利酒Sena變得更優雅融和，令本來高分變得更加高分📈

Focused nose, showing fresh red chili chocolate with cigar, truffle, mint, olive and grilled meat. This is a medium-to full-bodied red with incredibly juicy and bright fruit and fine, caressing tannins that linger in the long, creamy but precise finish. Elegant and extremely drinkable with complexity. on top of 38% malbec, 25% syrah, 15% cabernet sauvignon, 14% grenache and 8% petit verdot. The real deal. Second wine of Seña. Drink or hold.

An enticing nose offers notes of blackberry and blueberry alongside green bell pepper, light notes of cassis add to its complexity. On the well-structured palate, chalky but firm tannins reveal plum, blackberry, cherry and eucalyptus. Vibrant acidity balances out the flavors throughout the delicious finish. This Malbec-based blend, with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Petit Verdot, is fresh and bold with good aging potential.

A new second wine here, the 2020 Rocas de Seña is named after the rocky soils from Seña is different as it includes Mediterranean grapes in the blend. This is the first vintage produced, and it’s a blend of 38% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Grenache (from their property in Vertientes, where the Syrah also comes from) and 8% Petit Verdot from selected plots from their property in Aconcagua. 2020 was warm and dry and saw an early harvest that delivered concentrated and powerful wines, this one at 14% alcohol and with a pH of 3.53 and 6.09 grams of acidity. It fermented mostly in stainless steel and 10% in concrete eggs, and the blend matured for 22 months in French oak barrels, 65% of them new. The nose is very expressive, and the palate is juicy and textured palate, a little warmer and riper than the Seña, with that Mediterranean twist from the Garnacha and Syrah. It has an intense nose, quite primary, with red berries, herbs and even a citrus touch, but there is no sweetness at all. The fine tannins have grip, and the finish is dry and serious. The élevage was similar to the Seña, but in the future, they might go for a slightly shorter élevage and use some foudres. The wine has a very nice bright color and is still young and lively, very much in the serious and elegant style of the Seña, despite the warm inaugural vintage, showing in the juicy palate. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022.
