More about the wine

The new vintages of VIK only have three varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Carmenère, in the blend. It is a triumph, with more savoury notes and resulting in a complex and rather elegant blend which stacks layers upon layers of spice, earthy and fragrant dark forest fruit aromas. With a fine tannin, tension and a long, concentrated finish, this is a wine that will age well for decades to come.

More about the winery

One of the biggest modern investments in Chile, VIK winery in Cachapoal is an impressive project in the middle of Cachapoal where the Norwegian Vik family purchased a 4,450 hectare valley in a bid to make the best wine in the world. After hundreds of soil studies, they planted 327 hectares of vineyards from which they only select the top grapes each year for their top wine, VIK – a rich red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah.

The winery is state-of-the-art and a beautiful architectural masterpiece, that is perhaps only upstaged by the hotel next door: an artistic, luxury, boutique hotel that offers the most exclusive stay in Chile’s wine valleys with a top-notch restaurant.
