From the archive (October 2015): Viña Seña – Aconcagua’s Bordeaux Blend

Chile is now home to world-class wineries that make wines that can compete with the very best of the world. Seña, the result of an alliance between Chile's Eduardo Chadwick and the Mondavis, is one such winery. Not only does it feature in the upcoming short documentary by James Orr, Legends of Chile, about three iconic producers from Chile, you can also taste Seña's wines at our imminent Great Wines of the World events in Seoul, Hong Kong and Beijing. See the video above from 2015 to hear Eduardo Chadwick describe the concept behind this unique project.

From 2015:

After an exhaustive quest for the appropriate terroir, Eduardo finally found the right place in 1995 in the astonishing Valle de Aconcagua. The valley is overseen by Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak of all the southwestern hemisphere, and enjoys a Mediterranean climate. Certified biodynamic since 2005, at Seña the conservation of the environment is of the utmost importance. 

The wine is a Bordeaux inspired blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, carmenere, cabernet franc, petit verdot and recently some malbec. Each of the varieties are planted according to their affinity to different soil compositions.

In this video, Eduardo Chadwick, owner of Seña, explains the concept behind this unique project. Watch for the full interview.
