DESCRIPTION
Viu Manent Viu 1 Malbec 2019 comes from the best Malbec parcels of block 4 within the San Carlos vineyard, planted over 100 years ago. The 2019 vintage, marked by a warm summer followed by a more temperate autumn, yielded a balanced, deep, and expressive wine. The grapes are hand-harvested, precisely sorted, and then vinified in stainless steel tanks and concrete eggs. The aging process combines French oak barrels, untoasted foudres, and concrete eggs. Bottled without filtration. Viu Manent is a family-owned house founded in 1935, renowned for its wines from the Colchagua Valley. The acquisition of its three vineyards in Colchagua in 1960, including San Carlos de Cunaco, the cradle of centenarian Malbec vines, forged the estate's identity. Today managed by the third generation and certified vegan, Viu Manent has been ranked among the World's Best Vineyards for seven consecutive years.
On the nose, great aromatic complexity with floral, spicy, and black fruit notes, notably blackcurrant and plum. On the palate, ample with velvety, round, and elegant tannins, well-integrated acidity, and a broad, persistent finish. It pairs well with a roasted beef tenderloin with a reduced jus or a rack of lamb with herbs and confit eggplant. Aging potential of 10 years.
