Rocas is a wine with a significant Mediterranean accent, featuring a core of Malbec complemented by 25% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache. Showing some subtle, appealing reduction, it reflects the shift towards greater freshness over the last five vintages at Seña, with the emphasis on red berry fruit, textured, fine-boned tannins, top notes of mint, clove and mountain herbs, lovely zip and minerality and a stony finish. Long and refreshing, especially in such a dry vintage. 2025-32.

A unique blend of 33% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache, aged 18 months in French barrique, the 2022 Rocas de Seña is a vibrant introduction to the Seña winemaking style, accurately displayed in the poised, graceful style this wine delivers. The nose is fresh and lively with a savory, herbal background, introducing a suave, precise, plush palate. While this is juicier and less tensely structured than the Seña itself, there is no lack of bracing tension that props up and elongates the finish. This is a beautiful and overperforming wine with a singular identity.
