Viu Manent 2020 La Capilla Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
100% Cabernet Sauvignon | Alc: 13.7%
Valle de Colchagua, Chile

Winemaker’s Notes:
Viu Manent 2020 La Capilla Single Vineyard comes from the La Capilla vineyard in Peralillo and is planted on soils of alluvial origin with very low natural fertility and a high proportion of silt, sand, and volcanic ash. The unique character of this terroir lends the wine very clear fruity notes, tremendous minerality and elegance, and a texture of fine grain tannins on the palate.

Critical Acclaim:
“The 2020 La Capilla Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has a restrained 13.7% alcohol and comes from a rare terroir of silt and volcanic ash, low-yielding and with a textured mouthfeel with very fine-grained tannins, which they say is similar to the texture of the soil, a lot thinner than the grainy tannins from the Cabernet in Maipo.” 92 pts – Wine Advocate

“A juicy, full-bodied cabernet sauvignon with tight, fine-grained tannins that unleashes mineral, cassis and roasted spices. Powerful yet creamy tannins frame the taut berry fruit. Impressive! Drink or hold.” 92 pts – James Suckling
