Box 6 The Incident 2022

$300.890 $353.940
Description
Its name originates from a legendary hot air balloon trip by José Miguel Viu and a group of friends with the aim of flying over our vineyards in Colchagua. The ride ended unexpectedly when we landed in the middle of an open-air market in the city of Santa Cruz…

 

This wine carries the essence of that eventful flight, where the unpredictable becomes inspiration. Just like the balloon that defied its route, "El Incidente" (The Incident) 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.

Tasting Notes

Intense and deep violet color. On the nose, it very clearly represents the variety; it is intense, complex, expressive, and elegant, with notes of blue and red fruits, plum, black pepper, violets, and sweet spices.

On the palate, it is very balanced, vibrant, medium-bodied, elegant, precise, and with a long finish.
