Viu Manent Single Vineyard La Capilla Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Single Vineyard La Capilla Cabernet Sauvignon Bottle. This Single Vineyard comes from the La Capilla vineyard located in Peralillo and is established on an alluvial soil, of very low natural fertility and with a high proportion of silt, sand, and volcanic ash.
The unique character of this terroir gives the wine very clear fruit notes, great minerality and elegance, and a mouthfeel characterized by the texture of its fine tannins.
We conceptually illustrate this soil on the new label.
The background color is a light gray, almost white, and corresponds to the whitish color seen in the vineyard, a product of volcanic ash.

Tasting Notes
Bright and deep red color, with a purplish hue.
On the nose it is expressive and of great complexity, highlighting notes of ripe red fruits, such as black cherry and currants, followed by a subtle tobacco aroma.
On the palate it is balanced and well-structured, with firm and silky tannins that provide tension and textures, accompanied by fine nutty notes in the aftertaste, giving way to an elegant and persistent finish.
