On the 30th anniversary of the discovery of Carmenere in Chile, we present the new image of our Gran Carmenere El Incidente 2021.
Its name originates from a legendary hot air balloon trip by Jose Miguel Viu and a group of friends, with the aim of flying over our vineyards in Colchagua. The trip ended unexpectedly when we landed in the middle of a flea market in the city of Santa Cruz...
This wine carries the essence of that eventful flight, where the unpredictable becomes inspiration. Just as the balloon defied its route, "El Incidente" is a tribute to the accidental encounter that transformed the history of Chilean wine. The Carmenere variety emerged unexpectedly in Chilean vineyards in the early 90s.
