Old or New World wine-producing country? Its first grapevines were planted as early as the 1500s. European immigrants brought more varieties, particularly from Bordeaux, to Chile in the 1800s. Until the 1990s, most of the country\u2019s wine was consumed locally. As Chilean winemakers started exporting more wine, the world noticed both the quality and value of Chile wines.
\nWith 4,300 kilometers of coastline along the Pacific Ocean, Chile produces wines that are both fruit-forward factor and herbaceous.
\nCabernet Sauvignon might be Chile\u2019s most important red variety, but Carmenere is the country\u2019s niche grape (98% of the world\u2019s Carmen\u00e8re is grown there). As for white wines, Sauvignon blanc has become increasingly popular and performs well when grown close to the cool Pacific; Chardonnay is also ubiquitous in Chile.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”14089″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Se\u00f1a was created in 1995 as a joint venture between Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi, who shared a dream of making a wine that would show Chile\u2019s full potential, a wine that would come to be welcomed, in time, among the world\u2019s First Growths.<\/p>\n
Modelled on a Bordeaux style, it would have a Chilean soul given by its Carmenere variety, grown under biodynamic farming principles in the Aconcagua Valley.<\/p>\n
Since 2005 Se\u00f1a is owned 100% by the Chadwick family, proprietors of Err\u00e1zuriz, and is the personal project of Eduardo Chadwick.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\u201cThis is a powerful and structured red with currants, minerals and blackberries. Full and very silky plus has firm tannins and a chewy finish. Stoney. Needs another three years to soften.
