- Rocas de Sena is produced with the same meticulous care as Sena, expressing its personality by giving a higher proportion of Malbec and the addition of Mediterranean varieties Syrah and Grenache. The result is a youthful and lively wine with good density and smooth texture, all involved by vibrant and juicy acidity. It is a wine with great elegance and intensity that can be enjoyed when young while waiting for the first wine to open with age in the cellar.
- Due to moderately cool conditions, it is an outstanding vintage that translates into slow, smooth grape ripening. Pure, elegant, and refined wine.
It is a purple-coloured wine with subtle aromas of violets, sage, cherries and blueberries that give way to soft toast notes and hints of dill and cloves. On the palate, Rocas de Sena 2021 showcases layers of fresh fruit like strawberries, sour cherries, pomegranates and blueberries, and savoury pastries and nuts notes. It is fresh and juicy with pleasant, fine-grained tannins followed by a long, linear and vibrant finish
96 points, James Suckling
It is very racy, vibrant and intense, with a heap of pure red fruit, full of strawberries, red cherries and a hint of spice, flowers and blue fruit. A subtle twist of mineral, too. Medium-bodied, linear, long and subtle on the palate, sandwiched by very fine, polished tannins. Precision and purity are the words. It is elegant and slightly austere with a very long, subtle finish. 35% malbec, 21% syrah, 20% cabernet sauvignon, 10% grenache, 9% petit verdot and 5% mourvedre. 50,000 bottles made, which is a little more than the 2020 vintage. Drink or hold.

Winery | 94 points, Tim Atkin This is the second release of Rocas and it’s a definite step up on the 2020, reflecting the cooler, better balanced growing season. Including 5% Mourvedre for the first time, it’s a Bordeaux-meets-the-Mediterranean blend of Malbec with 24% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Grenache and 9% Petit Verdot. The 40% new oak is well handled, framing a deeply coloured, nuanced palate of cassis, blackberry and chocolate, embellished by notes of violet and sweet spices, fine-grained tannins and a bright, refreshing finish. |
