Intense graphite with fresh lavender, thyme, rosemary and blackcurrant notes. Hints of decadence. Iodine and mussel undertones. Full-bodied with superb intensity and silky tannins that grow on the palate, showing great length that goes on for minutes. Truly great depth. 77% cabernet franc and 23% cabernet sauvignon. Best ever.

2021 Vintage: This year, VIK, the house's top wine, has undergone a little revolution. Instead of being based on cabernet sauvignon (last year it was 75% of the blend), this time it is 77% cabernet franc (the second variety that traditionally made up this blend). According to the winemaker Cristián Vallejo, the change is due to the fact that he realized the potential of the franc in that area of Cachapoal, especially in terms of the elegance and the sharpness of the tannins, as well as what he calls "vibrancy," something akin to freshness and fresher fruits. The cabernet sauvignon in this vintage was relegated to a supporting role, providing structure in a VIK that is different, that has turned 180º and that we like, especially for that energy and that strength of red fruits.
