The 2009 Sena is a Chilean red wine in the Bordeaux style, combining elegance and power, made from grape varieties grown using biodynamic methods in the Aconcagua Valley.
Origin and Terroir
The wine is produced in the Aconcagua Valley, a renowned wine-growing region in Chile. The 2009 vintage saw a warm and dry season, with high cumulative heat favoring the ideal ripening of the grapes, particularly the Carmenere grape variety, the wine's signature with a Bordeaux influence. The vines are cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture. The harvest began two weeks earlier than usual to preserve the concentration and richness of the grapes.
Grape Varieties and Vinification
The 2009 Sena is mainly composed of Carmenere, which particularly benefited from the warm and dry conditions of the year. The vinification follows strict methods to ensure power, fine tannins, and balanced acidity.
Organoleptic Characteristics
Color: Natural evolution with a still-prominent red hue after more than ten years.
Nose: Complex, revealing multiple layers of spicy aromas, subtle oak, chocolate, tobacco, and cigar box, as well as fruity notes of ripe raspberry and cherry.
Palate: Round with pronounced acidity on the finish, excellent density, and length. The tannins are ripe, silky, and well-structured, offering a velvety mouthfeel.
Aging potential: Ready to drink but can also be kept for another five years for optimal evolution.
Serving Suggestions and Reception
This vintage is a dense and powerful wine, ideal for accompanying rich dishes such as grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses. The attention paid to vineyard management, particularly for hydration and fruit protection, has resulted in a balanced and refined cuvée highly appreciated by lovers of fine wines.
For more information, you can consult the official Sena technical document for the 2009 vintage, which provides a detailed overview of this exceptional cuvée.
