“The 2024 Seña continues the excellence that the entire Errázuriz range exhibits in this vintage, offering a graceful, effortless and underrated expression of Aconcagua. A rich bouquet of dark fruits, fresh herbs and floral notes is brightened by a streak of rising camphor and sweet mint flourishes, introducing a suave, tense and seamless mouthfeel with classical proportions. Ultra-fine tannins and graphite-mineral notes surround the finish, lingering with an extra round of herbal and minty nuances. It is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec, 16% Carmenère and 6% Petit Verdot that matured for 18 months, with 70% of the wine resting in barrels and 30% in foudre—this being the highest percentage to date.”

Proving that the new team of Emily Faulconer and Tomas Munoz were keen to follow in the steps of Pancho Baettig, producing Senas that are more European in style, this continues the welcome transformation of the last few vintages. Cabernet Sauvignon takes centre stage, flanked by 18% Malbec, 16% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot and complemented by scented 65% new oak (and a sizeable foudre component). Bright, refreshing and appealingly perfumed, it has a frame of granular tannins, plum, cassis and red cherry flavours, deftly integrated wood spices and a waft of graphite. Very composed, it is appealing now but has a long life ahead of it.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2040

Delivery
We generally use specialised fine wine delivery couriers rather than standard couriers, giving a much higher level of care and accuracy in delivering fine wines safely to you. Wines can be delivered duty-paid to UK addresses upon payment of the required duty, VAT, delivery and storage charges (if applicable). Duty and VAT are as set by HMRC at the time of delivery. Delivery charges are based on number of cases to be delivered and are standard for all UK addresses except highlands and islands. Please ask for a quotation for highlands and islands, transfers to another bonded warehouse and for international transfers.
Please read our Delivery page for more details.
