Description
Description
World class from Chile - 99 points for the 2016 vintage.
Great blend in Bordeaux style - harmonious and extraordinary!
Spectacular brand new super Chilene vinified by the brilliant hands of Cristian Vallejo.
His wines are already extremely successful and enjoy international recognition, both from specialists and from lovers!
Extremely intensely fragrant ruby red cuvée, combined from Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah. The intense bouquet of strawberries, raspberries, plums, vanilla, spices, wet leaves and gentle notes of oak is already impressive in the glass and the VIK also shows wonderful balance on the palate, lots of fruit and minerality. Carried by ripe tannins, you are rewarded with a beautifully aromatic, long finish. Very modern, exceptional and dynamic drinking fun that is reminiscent of the great wines from Bordeaux.

| Expansion: | After the manual harvest and rigorous selection of the grapes, the must underwent a pre-fermentation maceration of 5-6 days at 8°C, then normal fermentation and then a post-maceration of 7-15 days, all with regular bâtonnage. All grape varieties were vinified separately and only assembled after extensive tasting by the oenologists and then matured in new French barriques for 18-24 months. |
| Decant: | open about 1 before. |
| Enjoyment: | This red wine begs to be enjoyed on its own - at most with a piece of well-ripened hard cheese or dark chocolate and a cigar as an accompaniment. |
