EL INCIDENTE 2020 Twelfth Edition

Vineyards
The grapes come from a selection of Viu Manent’s best vineyards, all located in the Colchagua Valley. The soils where the Carménère is planted are of volcanic origin with a presence of fractured rock in the entire profile, and with very good drainage. The Malbec vineyard was planted more than 100 years ago and is located to the west of the town of Cunaco,

Tasting Notes
An intense violet color. The nose is of a deep, elegant Carménère with black fruit and floral notes, including cherry, violet, black olive, and different spices. On the palate the wine has big structure and is very intense, with very present but polished tannins, and a great concentration of flavors, while being vibrant and deep, with a very long finish.

Food pairing
Ideal for meat dishes with personality, like duck confit, wild boar loin, lamb, or dishes with curry. Also cheeses like provolone with Rosemary. Service temperature of 17–18ºC, ideally decanted prior to serving. Aging potential of 10 years.

Variety
Carménère 85%, Malbec 15%
