Winery | Tim Mondavi (Robert’s son) and Eduardo Chadwick conducted an extensive four-year search throughout the Aconcagua Valley, finding the perfect terroir in Ocoa. Tim was ahead of his time in insisting they seek out a cooler site to make a fresher, more elegant wine than was the norm in the mid-1990s. One of Sena’s key goals from the beginning was to work closely with nature while preserving natural resources. This led to the implementation of biodynamic farming, sustainable practices, and organic agriculture very early in the planning stages and the development of the Sena Vineyard. Sena's 42-hectare hillside vineyard was planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere, along with Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The volcanic and colluvial soils on the valley’s slopes present a variety of textures and proportions of stone content, resulting in a great diversity of well-drained gravel and rocky soils with loam to clay-loam texture. Sena is a unique Bordeaux-style blend regularly benchmarked alongside First Growths and other top Cabernet-based wines. It is known for its complexity, structure, fine-grained tannins, and acidity. |
