- A charming blend of ripe dark fruits, strawberries and a hint of spice envelopes the complex and perfectly balanced palate with subtle, rounded tannins and a pleasant, unforgettable finish.
The grapes were carefully sorted and vinified in the gravity-fed cellar. Fermentation occurred with wild yeasts in small, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks of 18,000 litres, followed by malolactic conversion. The wine was aged in French barriques for 12 months in a combination of used barrels, recycled barrels and ‘barroir’, barrels that were made at the VIK winery.

Winery | Situated within the valley's interior, the vineyard benefits from a rich tapestry of diverse terroirs and microclimates. Each parcel features unique exposures tempered by coastal breezes, which intricately craft complexity in the resulting wines. The vineyards are planted across 12 small valleys, totalling 327 hectares. More than 6,000 soil analyses were conducted to match the clonal selection of rootstock and varieties. The soil types include colluvial, alluvial, sand, clay, and gravel stone, each imparting a distinctive characteristic to the resulting blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère and Syrah vines are planted at a high density of 10,000 vines per hectare, with 12 bunches per vine. 50% of the vineyards are massale selection, and 50% are from carefully selected clones. The vines are sustainably cultivated and hand-harvested at optimum maturity. |
