Viu Manent El Incidente Carménère 2019

El Incidente is Viu Manent’s take on Carménère, now considered to be Chile’s emblematic variety. Although it disappeared from the Old World after the phylloxera attack in the mid-19th century, it was rediscovered, rather by accident, in Chile in the early 1990s. 14% Malbec was added to the blend.

Deep and intense violet in colour. The nose is elegant, complex and fruity with aromas of red and black fruits along with a touch of black pepper and sweet spices. The palate has tremendous structure and complexity with the chalky tannins typical of the La Capilla terroir that lead to a long, persistent finish.
