Viña Vik Winery "A" Cabernet Sauvignon

From Viña Vik, the “A” Cabernet Sauvignon is a Cabernet Sauvignon red wine from Chile’s Colchagua Valley, near Millahue. Produced at a winery described as an experiential mix of architecture, design, art, wine and well-being, it comes from a holistic vineyard set within the Chilean natural landscape, with 360 degree panoramic views across vineyards, valleys, hills, forests and mountains, with the Andes in the background.

The vineyards benefit from a warm Mediterranean climate with a marine influence that helps limit maximum temperatures, alongside granitic-origin soils described as deep, porous and well-draining. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, this ruby red wine opens with aromas of red and black fruits including raspberries, plums and blackberries, followed by fresh spice notes, dried fruit and a slight touch of mocha from ageing in French barrels. On the palate, it is described as elegant, with good minerality and a silky sensation, supported by a strong structure, soft and tense tannins, balanced acidity and a long finish. Serve alongside game casseroles or slow roast lamb.
