Warm afternoons are moderated by cool, often humid Pacific breezes and marked diurnal shifts, fostering slow, even ripening and excellent natural acidity. Harvest is carried out entirely by hand into small 10 kg crates, followed by rigorous hand-sorting on selection tables to ensure only pristine berries make it into the wine. Fermentations for each variety are conducted separately, with macerations of 16–35 days (depending on the grape) at 27–29°C and regular cap management and bâtonnage to refine tannin and texture. Malolactic fermentation is completed in barrel, and the wine then matures for not less than 26 months in French oak, crafted in-house under Viña Vik’s “Barroir” concept—barrels made from estate-grown oak and tailored toast profiles to reflect the property’s terroir.
