The story of Viu Manent winery started in 1935 when the Catalan, Miguel Viu-Garcia arrived in the city of Santiago, Chile together with his two sons: Agustín si Miguel Viu-Manent. Settled in Colchagua Valley - one of the most important wine regions in Chile, Viu Manent produces great quality wines using grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Syrah, Malbec and Chardonnay.

Colchagua Valley Wines

Colchagua Valley, in central Chile, is one of South America's most promising wine regions. Some of the best Chilean red wines in Colchagua are made mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Syrah followed by Malbec and Merlot. Meanwhile Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are to be found throughout the ocean side of Colchagua Valley and produce great quality white Chilean wine. Colchagua Valley is a fairly new wine-producing region and is enjoying a growing reputation as Chile's 'Napa Valley'.

Chardonnay Wines

Chardonnay is the most famous white wine grape variety in the world. The best Chardonnay wines are generally to be found in Burgundy (especially Chablis) and California but many good quality examples will be also found in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. If maturated in oak barrels the Chardonnay wine will reveal notes of vanilla, butter, smoke and hints of sweet spices. Meanwhile unoaked Chardonnay wines acquire mineral, citrusy and fruity flavours.
