Viu Manent - Estate Collection - Chardonnay

Brilliant and light yellow in colour. The nose is fresh, fruity, and expressive, with aromas that recall melons, yellow plums, mandarin oranges, and apricots. The palate is very juicy, intense, and well balanced, with a smooth texture and a pleasing finish.

From different vineyards in the Colchagua Valley. Approximately 50% of the grapes come from the Fundo San Carlos estate near Cunaco. The remaining 50% are from two vineyards in the foothills of the Andes Mountains.

About the Producer

Viu Manent is a Chilean winery owned by the Viu family. It was founded in 1935 when the Catalonian immigrant Miguel Viu-García and his two sons Agustín and Miguel Viu-Manent founded Bodegas Viu in Santiago de Chile. They bottled and sold wine on the local market under the “Vinos Viu” brand.

In 1966 Miguel Viu Manent fulfilled his long-time dream of making his own wines when he acquired the Hacienda San Carlos de Cunaco in Colchagua. This traditional estate included 150 hectares of vineyards planted to noble, pre-phylloxera vines, as well as a winery and manor house.
