EL INCIDENTE
El Incidente is Viu Manent’s first Carmenere icon wine. It was launched in 2010 in commemoration of the winery’s 75th anniversary.
We have named this wine “El Indicente” (The Incident) in memory of a now-legendary hot air balloon ride that José Miguel Viu, 3rd generation of the family to manage the winery, took with a group of friends. They flew over the vineyards in Colchagua, until the adventure ended abruptly when the balloon unexpectedly dropped into an outdoor fresh market in the village of Santa Cruz, much to the surprise of the many onlookers.
