DESCRIPTION
Viu Manent Viu 1 Malbec 2020 comes from the best Malbec parcels of block 4 within the San Carlos vineyard, planted over 100 years ago. The 2020 vintage, warm and dry, accelerated grape maturity, leading to a precise harvest to preserve freshness and energy. Blending 85% Malbec, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Petit Verdot, it was aged for 16 months in barrels (63%) and oak foudres (37%). 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, an elegant and precise bouquet focused on aromas of red and blue fruits, fresh plum, violet, and fine mineral notes. On the palate, fresh, juicy, and deep, with a beautiful balance, fine tannins, plenty of energy, and a long, well-defined finish. It pairs well with crispy sweetbreads or a dry-aged rib of beef. Serve at 18°C. Aging potential of 10 years and more.
