Vineyards
The grapes come from a selection of our best vineyards on the Viu Manent propery in the Colchagua Valley. The Carménère comes from the La Capilla vineyard, the Malbec from the San Carlos vineyard, and the Petit Verdot from the El Olivar vineyard.

Tasting Notes
Intense red-violet in color. The nose is elegant, complex, and expressive, with notes of black pepper, sweet spices, and violets, plus a mix of red and black fruit. The palate is lively, with energy and big structure with fine, elegant tannins, smooth texture, and a clear expression of origin
