O Produtor, tasting note published in May 5th 2023

The 2021 season got underway with a perfect, cool spring. Then, while the temperatures in summer were average, it was very windy, which enabled us to ripen the tannins without losing the fruitiness. The conditions lent acidity and vibrancy to our wines. Milla Cala reveals the most perfect, fine expression and includes all the varieties in our terroir. The Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure, tension, and character, while the Merlot delivers a velvety mouthfeel with a silky edge. The Carmenère brings a consistent, enjoyable body, while the acidity of the Cabernet Franc generates a symphonic movement of the tannins that closes with the smoothness of the Syrah. On the nose, the red fruit of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot intermingle perfectly with the black fruit and spice of the Carmenère, the mineral hint of the Cabernet Franc and the blue floral notes of the Syrah.

Vik Wines

VIK was created in Millahue, in the Cachapoal Valley. This is a vineyard that embodies the perfect fusion of man, experience, land, climate and high technology.

THE PERFECT TERROIR
The VIK vineyard was born at the foot of the Andes Mountains, within the Millahue Valley, called “Lugar de Oro” or “Golden Place” by the native Mapuche people: 4,300 hectares of astonishing Chilean nature where more than 327 hectares of vines have been planted.

VIK’s terroir offers a majestic and natural landscape made up of 12 valleys, each with its own microclimate, distinct exposures, all within a wind tunnel cooled by coastal breezes from the Pacific and winds from high in the Andes that give VIK enormous complexity and exceptional variety.

OENOLOGIST
Head winemaker Cristian Vallejo oversees VIK’s viticulture and winemaking, ensuring that grapes are hand-picked and fermentation occurs naturally, without the addition of yeasts.

The wines are aged in a combination of new and used French oak barrels.
