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. 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. | |

Tasting note |
This wine is intense light yellow in colour. The fresh nose recalls exotic fruits such as cherimoya as well as apricots and ripe pears with subtle notes of citrus fruit and flowers. The palate is viscous yet fresh, with tremendous volume. It is very fruity and balanced with a long, persistent finish.
