Viu Manent
Viu Manent was created in 1935 when the Catalonian immigrant Miguel Viu-García and his two sons Agustín and Miguel Viu-Manent founded Bodegas Viu in Santiago de Chile. In 1966, Miguel bought the Hacienda San Carlos de Cunaco in Colchagua and changed the winery name to Viu Manent. This traditional estate included 150 hectares of vineyards, as well as a winery and manor house. Since 2000, the winery has been in the hands of the third generation of the family with Jose Miguel Viu and their aim still rings true now as it did almost 100 years ago. to produce outstanding wines that are consistent in quality. The `Secreto` or `Secret` range uses several varieties to make very expressive fresh and aromatic blends, each with a very closely guarded secret—the winemaker includes a 15% component that only he knows. This is the secret. Viu Manent also commissions the famous Chilean artist Catalina Abbot to create the labels.
