Sena
In Chile’s Aconcagua Valley, Sena set out with an audacious brief: founded in 1995 by Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi, the estate aimed to craft an icon red that could speak of Chile as a world‑class terroir, not a copy of elsewhere.The vines sit on hillside blocks cooled by Pacific influence; lean soils, slopes and preserved native vegetation build biodiversity rather than monoculture. Since 2005 the farming has followed biodynamic principles, with compost, cycles and intensive hand work guiding the season, while Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and other Bordeaux varieties are picked and vinified parcel by parcel with strict selection.
In the cellar, Sena favors precision: gentle extraction, separate élevage decisions and maturation that supports structure without masking origin. The result is the idea of a true “signature wine” made tangible – contemporary in vision, yet deeply rooted in Aconcagua’s landscape and long, measured ripening.
