The Secret de 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 labels were created by Chilean artist Catalina Abbott and each is an interpretation of a secret. Carménère was thought extinct but was rediscovered in Chile where it delivers its maximum expression. This carménère is from Viu Manent's El Olivar vineyard, located near the town of Peralillo. | |

Tasting note |
Deep violet red in color. The nose is fresh with a personality that reflects the typicity of the
Carmenere. Notes of red fruits, plums, sweet spices, damp earth, and black pepper intermingle
with a subtle note of red tobacco from its oak aging. The palate is medium bodied, vertical, fresh, elegant, well balanced, and complex with good volume and a long finish.
