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 secret of Viognier has only recently been discovered, it comes from far away but feels right at home in the Colchagua Valley.The grapes that make this wine were sourced from San Carlos vineyard on the Viu Manent estate. The warm days, cool nights and moderating breezes from the Andres and the Pacific produce grapes with good natural acidity and well developed fruit flavours resulting in wines with ripe flavours and balancing fresh acidity. | |

South Wales Echo, Jane Clare, 17th May 2014'The grapes come from the Colchagua Valley in Chile, and this is 85% viognier, with 15%...well, a secret. What you get after a nose hover of pears and apricots, is a mouthbomb of tropical fruit, with those creamy, silky sensations once again.' |
