El Incidente – Eighth edition 2016
September 2018Tasting Notes:
Deep, intense violet in color. The nose offers aromas of black fruits such as ripe blackberries, blueberries, and plums, along with a light touch of black pepper, a bit of leather, and some mocha. The palate stands out for its fresh and well-balanced acidity, chalky tannins (typical of the terroir at La Capilla), and abundant notes of minerals that lend complexity and lead to an elegant, persistent finish.
Variety:
88% Carménère, 10% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot.
Vineyards:
The grapes came from a selection of the best vineyards on the Viu Manent property 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.
