In this episode of 5 Questions, host Billy Galanko sits down with Emily Faulconer, Technical Director of Viñedos Familia Chadwick, with direct oversight of the iconic labels Seña and Viñedo Chadwick, two of Chile’s most iconic and ageworthy red wines. She was recently named one of Los Más Influyentes del Vino, a major annual survey of over 40 leading figures in the Chilean wine trade.
Emily shares insight into Seña’s coastal vineyards, discusses the influence of Bordeaux and Burgundy on her winemaking philosophy, and reflects on standout vintages like 2018 and 2021. She also talks about her long-term vision for Seña, one centered on consistency, adaptability, and climate resilience through biodynamic viticulture.
Topics covered include:
- Seña’s vineyard location and grape varieties
- What makes Seña a “modern classic” in Chilean wine
- Global inspirations behind Emily’s winemaking approach
- Standout vintages and what made them exceptional
- What’s ahead for Seña in the next decade
Whether you're a fan of Chilean wine, Bordeaux-style blends, or simply curious about how great wines adapt to changing climates, this is a conversation not to miss.
