Vinification: The grapes were destemmed and crushed into the tank. Alcoholic fermentation took place at temperatures between 24–26ºC. Fermentation had a very gentle extraction, with 2 to 3 short pump-overs per day, avoiding over extraction, in order to obtain a wine that was more elegant, friendly, and balanced. Malolactic fermentation took place naturally after alcoholic fermentation. Oak: Approximately 20% of the blend aged for 6 months in used French oak barrels.
The family wine-growing estate Viu Manent was founded in Santiago de Chile in 1935 and is led in third generation today. In the vineyards 250 hectares are managed, characterized by excellent terroir and an old vine population. The wine producer Viu Manent was awarded the title 2nd Most Awarded Winery Of Chile within two years succeeding one another.
