Product description
“2013 vintage will be remembered as an exceptional vintage, characterized by cool climate conditions that contributed to the fresh avors and fruit intensity of each vineyard lot. e elegance and purity of Seña 2013 vintage truly stands out; a perfect blend of structure, persistence and roundness alongside freshness and intensity.”
Fermentation and Ageing: The grapes were handpicked in the morning and transported to the winery in 12-kg boxes for a careful inspection on a double sorting table to eliminate plant matter and defective berries. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks at 23°–30°C, depending on the variety and the level of extraction desired. Three pumpovers were carried out daily during fermentation to rotate 0.5-1.5 times the volume of the tank. Total maceration time ranged from 14 to 27 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Carmenere, and 6 to 8 days for the Petit Verdot, according to the development of each block vinifed. The final blend was racked to French oak barrels (75% new) and aged for 22 months, during which time malolactic fermentation and stabilization occurred naturally.
