The VIK 2021 has made history by receiving a perfect score of 100 points from renowned critic James Suckling. This extraordinary achievement marks a milestone for a winery with just 20 years of existence and reflects VIK’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
The Evolution of VIK: From the First Harvest to Perfection
Since the beginning, VIK’s mission has been to create a world-class wine. The journey started in 2010, with the first harvest released in 2015. Over the years, VIK has refined its profile, reaching perfect balance with the 2021 harvest.
The 2021 Harvest: The Expression of Terroir
The 2021 harvest, made up of 77% Cabernet Franc and 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, is the purest expression of the terroir from the Vale de Cachapoal. This wine combines firm structure, refined tannins, and a rich aromatic profile.
James Suckling: The 100-Point Rating
James Suckling described the VIK 2021 as a wine with intense graphite, fresh notes of lavender, thyme, and blackcurrant. The critic also highlighted touches of iodine and mussels, stating that it is “the best ever,” with silky tannins and a long, persistent finish.
Exclusivity and Sophistication
With only 4,800 bottles produced, this exclusive wine is a true rarity. Its 26-month aging in barrels and clay amphorae contributes to its complexity and sophistication. While it needs five to seven years to reach its peak, the VIK 2021 will fully reveal its potential starting in 2029.
Chile at the Forefront of Wine Production
The perfect 100-point score places the VIK 2021 among the world’s great wines. This achievement reinforces Chile’s position at the forefront of world-class wine production, rivaling the best from France and Italy.
