Viu 1 – Sixteenth Edition 2017

Vineyard
Viu 1 is made from the best Malbec grapes from Block 4 of our San Carlos vineyard, located near Cunaco in the Colchagua Valley. This block was planted more than 100 years ago at a density of 4,464 plants per hectare.

Tasting Notes
Intense cherry red with a violet hue. Its complex and elegant nose is reminiscent of black fruit, violets, graphite, cassis, and sweet spices, together with subtle notes of mild tobacco and fine leather found among the many aromatic layers present. The palate is vibrant, with lots of energy, compact and elegant, with great texture and fine tannins that give way to a deep finish.

Food Pairing
This notable wine needs to accompany intense dishes like osso buco with saffron risotto, or pasta stuffed with rabbit or lamb, slow-cooked picaña, or leg of lamb with mint. Service temperature of 17–18ºC, ideally decanted prior to serving. Aging potential of 10–12 years.
