Viu Manent

El Incidente – Fifth Edition 2012

May 2016

Tasting Notes:

Deep, intense violet in color. The complex, fruity, and ripe nose expresses the characteristics of the year with aromas of black fruits, notes of black pepper and a bit of leather and blonde tobacco. Great structure and complexity on the palate with tannins that are both chalky (typical of the terroir at La Capilla) and silky and that lend way to a profoundly persistent finish.

Variety:

Carménère 91%, Malbec 8%, Petit Verdot 1%

Vineyards:

The grapes for this wine come from a selection from Viu Manent’s best vineyards 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 Vineyards.
