The wines in the Single Vineyard series are extraordinary examples of the definition of their region and variety, which contributes to the complexity and personality of each wine. These are small productions made with the finest Viu Manent grapes from selected blocks of our 3 Colchagua Valley vineyards. Controlled yields and very ripe, concentrated hand-picked fruit give rise to these wines of outstanding characteristics that are aged for 14–18 months in French oak barrels. The grapes for this wine come from the best sectors of Blocks Nº 5 and 6 of Malbec at the San Carlos Estate near Cunaco in the heart of the Colchagua Valley. The vineyard was planted more than 100 years ago.
