Intro to Viu Manent Secret Viognier –
Viu Manent Secret Viognier from Colchagua Valley in Chile is complex, fresh and fruity with exotic fruit aromas of papya and apricots and a lingering peachy tropical well-balanced mouthfilling taste.
Full tasting note and wine making –
Viu Manent Secret Viognier from Colchagua has an intense nose marked by peach, apricot and pear aromas that mingle with light citrus and floral notes. The fresh, fruity palate stands out for its liveliness, balance, and persistence. Fermentation and aging was in stainless steel tank to retain the fresh youthful notes of the peachy Viognier.
The Secret Viu Manent wines are made in a modern style and make the most of the primary fruit characteristics of each grape variety. Whilst the dominant grape variety is expressed on the label, 15% of the blend of each wine is kept a closely guarded secret. The grapes that make this wine were sourced from San Carlos vineyard on the Viu Manent estate.
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.
