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'.

Sauvignon Blanc Wines

Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine grape variety original from Bordeaux, France, where it makes a good pair with Sémillon in Sancerre. Sauvignon Blanc wines are generally associated with Pouilly-Fumé where the wine reveals a very specific flint aroma that derives from the region's particular limestone soils. A classic Sauvignon Blanc has grassy aromas with hints of nettles, blackcurrant leaf, green apples and gooseberries. Besides France, the grape makes excellent wine in New Zealand and the USA.
