Rocas de Seña takes its name from the rocky soils found in the Aconcagua Valley, in tribute to its geography. Those soils lend unique characteristics to the wine, and the large volcanic rocks are reminiscent of the holistic landscape in the vineyard. The launch of Seña’s alternative interpretation aims to continue exploring the expression of the terroir with a unique blend from selected blocks of the Seña vineyard and the addition of the Mediterranean varieties that flourish in the Aconcagua Valley to deliver elegance and youthful freshness.
Some plots that could be used in Seña may finally now be included in the Rocas de Seña blend, depending on how their quality is judged during the blending tastings. Fruit from additional plots located nearby in another estate, owned by the family since 1999, make up the full Rocas de Seña blend. The North-East exposure of these plots contribute to a higher heat summation than in the Seña estate, so it allows for a perfect ripening of Mediterranean varieties like Syrah and Grenache that are added into Rocas de Seña to create a true alternative expression of Seña.
35% Malbec, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Syrah, 14% Grenache, 9% Petit Verdot and 4% Mourvèdre.
