The Incident 2022

$58.990
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 trip 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" is a tribute to the accidental encounter that transformed the history of Chilean wine. The Carmenere variety unexpectedly emerged in Chilean vineyards in the early 90s.

Tasting Notes

Intense and deep violet color. On the nose, it clearly represents the varietal; 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 has a long finish.
