Viu Manent
El Incidente Carménère
| El Incidente is Viu Manent’s take on Carménère, now considered to be Chile’s emblematic variety. Although it disappeared from the Old World after the phylloxera attack in the mid-19th century, it was rediscovered, rather by accident, in Chile in the early 1990s. 15% Malbec was added to the blend. | |

| Tasting note |
Deep and intense violet in colour. The nose is elegant, complex and fruity with aromas of red and black fruits along with a touch of spice, green tea and violets. The palate has tremendous structure and complexity with the chalky tannins typical of the La Capilla terroir that lead to a long, persistent finish.
