Viniou Reviews

Chadwick Seña 2020 is an exquisite red blend hailing from the Aconcagua Valley in Chile, a region known for producing beautifully balanced wines. This particular vintage is a result of meticulous cultivation and vinification, pulling together some of the valley's best varietals to create a harmonious wine that reflects the vineyard's expertise and dedication. The terroir of Aconcagua Valley, with its well-drained, rocky soils and the influence of the Andes, provides an ideal environment for growing the grapes used in this blend. The 2020 vintage benefitted from a climate that is typically Mediterranean, with warm, dry summers and cooler winters. Such conditions usually result in wines with robust fruit flavours and good structure.

The Aconcagua Valley, nestled between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, is a unique wine region with a rich history of viticulture, dating back to the Spanish settlers in the 16th century. The region's climate is heavily influenced by the mountain ranges and oceanic breezes, creating a perfect balance for viticulture. This interplay results in wines that are expressive yet balanced, with both freshness and intensity.

When pairing Chadwick Seña 2020, consider hearty dishes that can stand up to the wine’s full-bodied character. Rich dishes such as beef tenderloin with a peppercorn sauce, lamb shank slow-cooked with rosemary, or traditional Chilean cuisine such as pastel de choclo (a dish made with beef, corn, and eggs) are excellent choices. The wine's robust flavours will also complement grilled vegetables and strong cheeses, enhancing the overall dining experience.

For the optimal tasting experience, Chadwick Seña 2020 should be served at a temperature of 16-18°C. This allows the wine's complex flavours to fully develop, releasing its aroma and enhancing your enjoyment. Decanting the wine for about an hour before serving can also help to soften the tannins and open up the bouquet, ensuring a pleasurable tasting experience.
