Malbec, San Carlos

Producers

The Single Vineyard selection showcases special sites with strong individual character within Viu Manent’s estate. This Malbec is made from 100 year old vines from blocks 4 and 5 of the San Carlos vineyard located near the town of Cunaco in the Colchagua Valley. Rain in the winter, warm dry summer days and cool nights coupled with sea and mountain breezes create the perfect micro climate for grape production.

Tasting note	This wine is an intense, dark ruby-red colour. The nose is fresh and fruity with notes of ripe tart fruits such as plums and cherries along with spicy notes that lend complexity. The palate has great structure accompanied by fresh natural acidity that lends balance and silkiness without losing the personality of flavours. PDF download full product information
Awards and Accolades	92 points, RobertParker.com, 28th April 2017 '...It’s still a bit young and marked by the elevage with some lactic and sweet spice aromas over a core of ripe berries and some flowers. The palate is tasty, sleek and elegant following the house style. It should develop nicely in bottle.'
