El Incidente 2021 – Thirteenth 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, planted on soils of alluvial origin with a sandy–clay texture, with extreme porosity and very good drainage.

Tasting Notes
An intense violet color. The nose shows a Carménère with great depth and elegance, with notes of black fruit and florals, including blackberry and violet with black olive and nuts. The palate is structured with great concentration and smooth, elegant tannins accompanied by a broad selection of flavors that lead to a vibrant, deep finish that shows great delicacy.

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 84%, Malbec 14%.
