SENA RED 750ML 2021

Linear, elegant and beautifully structured, with fine-grained tannins that are at once firm and silky. Very nuanced aromatic profile with crunchy red plum, red cherry, cranberry, wild strawberries and blood orange, over broodier dark chocolate and tobacco. Subtle floral notes add lifting allure. In the mouth there’s an interesting tension between depth and fruit fleshiness, and the robust, vertical acid line.

One of the finest vintages of the iconic Seña wine, the 2021 Seña comes from a cooler year, following the path of 2016 and 2018, certainly cooler than 2020 and 2019. It has a super expressive nose that is elegant, nuanced, perfumed, subtle and pure, with aromatic finesse, layered and complex. It was picked a couple of weeks later than in the previous two years and still keeping the alcohol below 14%. It was produced with a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Malbec (cooler years with more), 17% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot, fermented mostly in stainless steel and 10% in oak foudre. It's fine-grained and structured but juicy, similar to 2018 but with more finesse. It has the spicy/herbal twist from the Cabernet, ultra-refined tannins that give it great elegance and with length, purity and delineation. Superb! 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.
