Tasting note

品飲筆記：酒液呈深紫色，散發成熟黑紅果香，夾帶些許花香、甘草與微苦咖啡、淡淡煙燻感。入口活潑、有彈性的酸度帶動果香，果實飽滿而質地滑順，單寧細緻但有支撐力，尾韻鮮明且持久。 酒莊與釀造：這款為新雅（Seña）旗下的副牌，由Chadwick家族與釀酒師Francisco Baettig操刀。葡萄於三月採收，絕大多數於不鏽鋼發酵，少量在水泥槽中處理以保留質地，之後在法國橡木桶中熟成約22個月（其中高比例為新桶），帶來香料與柔和木質感。 葡萄園風土：葡萄園位於山坡，面積約42公頃，土壤由上方的火山岩（安山岩與火山角礫）、中段的坡積土，以及河岸沖積物組成，層次豐富，賦予酒款礦質與結構。2020年生長季偏暖，但受太平洋涼風影響，二月底維持良好酸度與芳香，三月回溫使果實充分成熟，成就香氣豐富又平衡的風格。 口感建議：建議醒酒約45分鐘，可讓香氣更開、單寧與果酸更協調。搭配烤牛排、燒羊肉或香料醬汁的紅肉風味最佳。

Tasting note: Deep purple in the glass with an expressive nose of ripe black and red fruits layered with floral hints, sweet spice, coffee and a touch of smoke. The palate is vibrant and tensile—juicy acidity drives a succulent mid-palate while firm, fine-grained tannins provide structure. Multiple layers of fruit, balsamic and savory herb notes lead to a long, polished finish. Producer notes & background: Rocas de Seña is the second label from Seña, crafted under the Chadwick family with winemaker Francisco Baettig overseeing the project. This wine reflects the estate’s focus on precision: carefully selected clones, rootstocks and trellis design were chosen to suit the hillside sites. Winemaking & ageing: Grapes were harvested in March and vinified predominantly in stainless steel with a small portion in cement tanks for textural balance. The wine spent approximately 22 months in French oak (a significant proportion in new oak), resulting in integrated oak spice and rounded tannin support. Vineyard & vintage notes: Fruit comes from a 42-hectare hillside estate planted on a complex mosaic of soils—upper terraces of volcanic andesite and breccias, mid-slope colluvium, and river alluvium in the valley bottoms—giving depth and mineral interest. The 2020 season was warm with moderating Pacific influences during late summer, preserving acidity and aromatics while producing a ripe, opulent expression. Serving: Decant about 45 minutes for optimal aromatic lift and palate clarity. Drink now to 2034 depending on cellaring; excellent with rich, roasted or spice-accented meat dishes.
