The VIK A Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 reveals the finesse of its terroir. It is a vibrant, tense, and often linear wine with rounded and restless tannins. These tannins provide a juicy progression through the mouth, offering balanced acidity and evoking fresh aromas of red fruits and spices, such as black pepper. The palate is complex, with multiple layers of flavors interwoven with its aromas.

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.
