Intro to Viu Manent Estate Chardonnay –

Viu Manent Estate Chardonnay from Colchagua Valley in Chile is refreshingly fruity full of apples, tropical and citrus fruit and is well-balanced with a crisp flavour.

Full tasting note and wine making –

Viu Manent Estate Chardonnay from Colchagua Valley has pure, crisp aromas. Its marked minerality and notes of melon, ripe banana, and just-picked apples are accompanied by subtle notes of sweet flowers and honey. The lively palate offers good volume and very good harmony and balance that leads to a subtle mineral finish after fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks.
The Reserva Chardonnay (92% Chardonnay and 8% Viognier) was grown on both Viu Manent’s San Carlos vineyard near Cunaco and a vineyard in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in the Colchagua Valley. The wines obtained in 2014 have good concentration and great colour; they are fresh with good typicity and are expressive of their place of origin.

The producer –

Viu Manent was founded in 1935 by Miguel Viu Garcia and his sons Agustin and Miguel Viu Manent. They are one of the longest established producers in the region and own their own vineyards in Colchagua including the Hacienda San Carlos de Cunaco bought in 1966. The estate included 150 hectares of noble, pre-phylloxera vines.
The Colchagua Valley is located in the south of the Rapel Valley in central Chile is 140 kilometres south of Santiago and is one of Chile’s most well-known wine regions particularly for full-bodied red wines. The vineyards benefit from cool seas breezes and sharp diurnal temperature differences which help to retain acidity and freshness which allows the red grapes to develop slowly improving their flavour and colour. Historically vineyards were planted on the gentler slopes but newer plantings are on steeper gradients. Viu Manent’s San Carlos vineyard is located here. Viu Manent wines are made with estate grown grapes from their own properties in the Colchagua Valley and ten percent of the white grapes come from selected Casablanca Valley vineyards, a cool coastal region.
