Sena Rocas de Sena 2022

Seña Rocas de Seña 2022 is a highly expressive, elegant, and masterfully layered red blend that highlights the second vinification chapter from the legendary Viña Seña estate. Born from a cooler, dry growing season that fostered exceptional aromatic purity, this vintage beautifully bridges traditional Bordeaux varieties with a distinct Mediterranean influence. It pours a brilliant ruby-red color with youthful violet reflections, opening with a vibrant, pure bouquet of cranberries, fresh blueberries, and rosemary, intricately complexed by suggestions of dill, nutmeg, and wild lavender. On the palate, this medium-bodied red displays a delightfully supple, juicy, and linear texture, driven by a crisp core of red and black forest fruits. Balanced seamlessly by a precise vein of mouthwatering natural acidity and exceptionally fine, caressing tannins, it glides into a lingering, savory finish marked by a distinctively fresh, mineral-rich, and spicy complexity.

Food Pairing: Pairs spectacularly with rosemary-crusted rack of lamb, slow-braised lamb rogan josh, charcoal-grilled ribeye steak, or rich duck breast with a spiced berry reduction.
