The grapes for this wine come from two vineyards located in different sectors of the Casablanca Valley. One of these is located beside the town of Casablanca and the other is in Las Dichas, approximately 11 km (7 miles) from the sea.
Viu Manent is a Chilean winery owned by the Viu family. It was founded in 1935 when the Catalonian immigrant Miguel Viu-Garca and his two sons Agustn and Miguel Viu-Manent founded Bodegas Viu in Santiago de Chile. They bottled and sold wine on the local market under the Vinos Viu brand.
In 1966 Miguel Viu Manent fulfilled his long-time dream of making his own wines when he acquired the Hacienda San Carlos de Cunaco in Colchagua. This traditional estate included 150 hectares of vineyards planted to noble, pre-phylloxera vines, as well as a winery and manor house.
