VIU 1 1.5 L Vintage 2016

Viu 1 is Viu Manent's iconic flagship wine, a tribute to the winery's founder, Don Miguel Viu Manent.

This elegant wine represents all of Viu Manent's experience and specialization in Malbec.

It is a unique, limited edition wine with numbered bottles, produced from a rigorous selection of our best grapes.

It comes from the old Malbec vines in Block No. 4 of the San Carlos vineyard, established there over one hundred years ago.

These naturally balanced vines, due to their age, have a very low yield of very small clusters, with an extraordinary concentration of fruit.

Pairing and Specifications

This outstanding wine needs to be accompanied by intense dishes, such as osso buco with saffron risotto, wild boar or lamb-filled pasta.

Slow-cooked beef cuts.

Herb-crusted leg of lamb with a beetroot trilogy.

• Format: Magnum 1.5 L
• Serve: 17-18 degrees.
• Decant. Aging potential 12-15 years.

Tasting Notes

Deep cherry red color.

On the nose, this Viu 1 stands out for its elegance, character and clarity, with aromas of red and blue fruits, fresh plum, violets and mineral notes.

On the palate, it is a well-balanced wine, with fine tannins, fresh, juicy, deep, defined, with great energy and persistence.
