First vineyards
Don Miguel Viu-Manent bought the Hacienda San Carlos de Cunaco, a traditional old estate and vineyard in the Colchagua Valley. The Hacienda included winery installations and 150 hectares of noble old vines brought over from France before the European phylloxera crisis.
Viu-Manent had had a long-term relationship with this estate owned by the Valdés family as it produced much of the wine he sold as Vinos Viu.
