Body, fullness and lots of muscles. Powerful tannins in a wine that still manages to be harmonious and in balance. Fresh and lively wine in an otherwise warm year with dark notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, blueberries, plums and violets. Dry and very aromatic.<\/p>\n
The grapes were picked in the early morning. First Cabernet Franc on March 4th and finally Cabernet Sauvignon at the end of the month. The grapes were double sorted to remove bad grapes, leaves and other unwanted greens. After the grapes were carefully crushed, they fermented in stainless steel – individually. The wine was collected in July and aged for 22 months with malolactic fermentation. 80% was aged in small French casks, of which 2\/3 were new.<\/p>\n

American Robert Mondavi and Eduardo Chadwick from Chilean Errazuriz created Se\u00f1a together. The goal was to create a world-class Chilean wine. It was completely successful with Se\u00f1a. In 1999 they bought together 350 hectares in the upper part of Valle de Aconcagua, where they planted 42 hectares on the best exposed slopes with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Carmenere. Today, Se\u00f1a is part of Vi\u00f1a Errazuriz.<\/p>\n
About Vi\u00f1a Errazuriz
\nIt was the famous Don Maximiano Err\u00e1zuriz who founded Vi\u00f1a Err\u00e1zuriz in 1870. With great visions for the future and his innovative ideas, he planted the first French grape varieties in the Aconcagua Valley. In addition to the great vinous involvement, Err\u00e1zuriz was also a politician and diplomat. He was born in Santiago in 1832, into a family of Basque origin that came to Chile in 1735. Since then, two members of the family have been presidents, two have been archbishops of Santiago and others have been diplomats, writers and businessmen who have contributed to the development of Chile. His great work was handed down to future generations in the family, and in just over a century his descendants consolidated the winery and placed their wines among the absolute best in the entire continent of South America. Today, Vi\u00f1a Errazuriz is therefore world famous for wines of very high quality.<\/p>\n
Environmentally conscious world class
\nVi\u00f1a Errazuriz is environmentally aware and future-oriented. In 2008, it was the first Chilean winery to introduce lightweight bottles to reduce CO2 emissions during both production and transport. Errazuriz also practices sustainable wine production, and the fields are cultivated organically as much as possible. The crowning achievement is \u2013 so far \u2013 the inauguration in 2010 of the new sustainable winery, Don Maximiano Icon Winery, in the Aconcagua Valley, as well as the official approval in 2011 as a sustainable company.<\/p>\n
Roughly speaking, Errazuriz divides its wines into four categories
\nEstate Reserva: The basis of the house, where the quality is already far ahead of other Chilean wine houses’ “luxury editions”.
\nReserva: From specially selected fields. A further development of the Estate Reserva wines, often with slightly longer\/intense barrel ageing. Including i.a. the popular Max Reserva series.
\nSpecialties: E.g. Single Vineyard, Wild Fermented, Organic and Late Harvest
\nIcon wines: Like Vi\u00f1edo Chadwick, Se\u00f1a, Founder’s Reserve and KAI. Belongs not only to the Chilean wine elite, but also to the world elite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
