VIK : Exclusive Collection 20-21-22

Three vintages of a Chilean Central Valley wine brought together in an exceptional gift box

The estate

Located in the Cachapoal Valley, on the foothills of the Andes Mountains, VIK is Chile’s first growth. Created by Alex and Carrie VIK, the estate boasts a vineyard of over 300 hectares in the Millahue Valley, named by the indigenous Mapuche people "Lugar de Oro" or "Golden Place." The result of an exceptional terroir combined with the finest viticultural and winemaking techniques, VIK wines are renowned for their elegance paired with rare aromatic richness.

The vineyard

VIK is a Chilean wine produced from vines grown in Millahue, in the Cachapoal Valley, on deep, porous granite soils.

The gift box

"Exclusive Collection 20-21-22" is a set bringing together three vintages of this Central Valley wine.

2020
This cool vintage allowed for rapid and precise tannin ripening, followed by smooth harvests that yielded well-ripened grapes with deep, dark fruit. The wine is expressive, pure, and vibrant, with remarkable tension and true elegance. It displays a dark, brilliant color, a very fruity and precise nose, and a palate with a taut structure supported by noble, silky tannins.

2021
On the palate, the wine shows clear elegance, with a structure that is both firm and delicate, driven by very fine, polished tannins that create a singular, almost airy vibration. The whole unfolds in a long, linear profile, marked by a striking minerality reminiscent of graphite, leading to an endless finish. The nose combines aromas of perfectly ripe red and black fruits, along with hints of spices and white and black pepper that bring lift, with a subtle touch of blue flowers.

2022
The nose is rich and complex, with wild blackberry and ripe red fruits, alongside notes of licorice, graphite, sweet spices, and blackcurrant. On the palate, the texture is silky and the structure very well defined, supported by fine tannins and lively acidity. The mid-palate is generous, and the finish stretches out with great elegance.

Grape varieties

VIK is the result of a blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
