Vina Vik Winery, VIK A Cabernet Franc 2022

VIK A Cabernet Franc 2022 is a polished Chilean red from one of the country’s most ambitious estates, bringing together precision winemaking, remarkable terroir, and a clear sense of place. Crafted in the Cachapoal Valley by Viña VIK, it reflects the winery’s focus on elegance, depth, and modern luxury rooted in world-class viticulture.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, inviting ruby-red colour with the concentration and clarity typical of carefully grown Cabernet Franc. The nose is likely to show fragrant dark berries, red currant, herbs, graphite, and subtle floral tones, supported by refined oak spice from élevage in French barrels. On the palate, it should feel structured yet graceful, with ripe berry fruit, fine tannins, fresh acidity, and layered notes of spice, tobacco leaf, and mineral complexity. This is a wine built for ageing, and its balance suggests it will develop beautifully over the next several years, gaining additional savoury and earthy depth.

Production
Produced in the Cachapoal Valley, where sunny days, cool nights, and varied soils help preserve freshness while encouraging full ripeness. Viña VIK’s approach combines careful vineyard selection, sustainable viticulture, and precise harvest timing, followed by vinification designed to capture purity and structure. The wine is matured in French oak barrels, including the estate’s distinctive Barroir technique, where locally sourced wood is used to toast the barrels.

Food & Serving
Serve with grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or mushroom-based dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. Best enjoyed at 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended to open up the aromatics and soften the texture.

Producer
Viña VIK was founded by Alex and Carrie Vik, who set out in 2004 to create one of the world’s great wines by searching across South America for the ideal terroir. Their estate in Millahue, once identified as a place of exceptional promise, has become one of Chile’s most distinctive wineries, supported by renowned winemaker Cristián Vallejo and an iconic, state-of-the-art winery designed by architect Smiljan Radic. The estate is widely recognized for its commitment to quality, innovation, sustainability, and its role in elevating Chilean fine wine on the global stage.
