Description

The Icon

Finesse, elegance, complexity, intensity, length and freshness are the unique characteristics that all together level up to extraordinary. VIK is a remarkable visionary Bordeaux style blend, which stands out for its formidable ability to evolve and move the consumer and ultimately indulge you in pure luxury.

The Region

The Millahue Valley is situated within the Cachapoal Valley, which itself is part of the larger Rapel Valley wine region in central Chile. It is located to the west of the Andes Mountains and benefits from a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and cool ocean breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean.

It’s characterized by diverse soils, including alluvial and colluvial soils, which contribute to the region’s unique terroir. The valley’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains also plays a role in creating different microclimates within the region.

The Winery

Viña VIK is a renowned winery located in the Millahue Valley, Chile. It is known for producing high-quality wines in a state-of-the-art facility and vineyards situated in a picturesque setting in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Viña VIK is notable for its commitment to producing premium wines and its dedication to art, architecture, and sustainability.

Vintage

On the 2014 VIK vintage, relevant decisions were made about the composition of the blend without Merlot giving more exposure to Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Cabernet Franc and sealed by Carmenere.

The Wine

This wine has a deep rich red colour with violet undertones. Ripe fresh red fruit aromas enhanced with spices emerge in the glass, delivering an aromatic complexity that wakes the senses. The attack is structured and elegant, typical of Cabernet Sauvignon, presenting velvety linear tannins on the mid-palate. Complex and appealing, French oak barrel aging imparts a unique liveliness to the wine coupled with hints of nuts and a subtle touch of mocha on the finish. Elegantly structured and voluptuous, this wine provides an exquisite sensation on the palate.

Ideal serving temperature 16ºC.
