Viu Manent Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
VITICULTUREVineyard: The grapes for this wine primarily come from the San Carlos Vineyard located near Cunaco in the Colchagua Valley. The Cabernet Sauvignon blocks were planted more than 100 years ago.Soils: The deep and extraordinarily porous soils are of alluvial origin with a sandy-clay texture and have very good ability to administer water to the plants throughout the year, which is especially important in old vines.Climate: The 2020 - 2021 season began with one of the rainiest winters in recent years, where the record of fallen water reached 600mm during the winter months and early spring, which allowed us to delay irrigation for 2 months on average. Due to this, the vineyards began the phenological cycle with a good level of humidity in the soil, avoiding risks of stress. The winter temperature was mild, being like this until mid-spring, causing a delay in budding. The summer had an important rain towards the end of January, causing a decrease in summer temperatures during this
