Viu Manent
Winery
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. It was no coincidence that he chose this particular property; it had long supplied the much of the wine he sold as Vinos Viu.

Tasting Note
Presents a light greenish-yellow color. The nose is fresh and fruity with complex aromas that recall ripe white fruits, citrus notes, and salinity due to its proximity to the sea. The palate offers rich structure marked by a fresh acidic backbone that provides freshness and a subtle touch of saline on the finish that lends it complexity and a sense of place.
