The Incident 1.5 Lts
Description
El Incident is an Icon wine based on Carmenere.
The grapes come from a selection of the best vineyards owned by Viu Manent, located in the Colchagua Valley. The Carménère comes from the La Capilla vineyard and the Malbec, from San Carlos.
We named this wine “El Incident” in memory of the now legendary trip that Jose Miguel Viu B, 3rd generation of the family in charge of the winery, took with a group of friends to fly over his vineyards in Colchagua.
The adventure ended unexpectedly when the Balloon fell into an open-air market in the town of Santa Cruz, before the surprised gaze of many spectators.
