About Vina VIK Winery 

 

ABOUT VINA VIK  WINERY- in their own words:

VIK is located in Millahue, Chile, approximately two hours south of Santiago. The property is 4,325 hectares (10,688 acres) comprising the end of the entire Millahue valley. The vineyard retreat is perched on and covers a hilltop above a lake at the center of the vineyard with panoramic 360 degree views. The vineyard can be seen spreading into the many smaller valleys and weaving among numerous gorges and mountains. In the distance are the majestic Andes Mountains.

 VIK WINERY
The architecture for the VIK winery takes into account the scale of production of ultra premium wines in an innovative and bold way.

The winery is a great structure that is mostly buried in the middle of the land that surrounds it, to obtain significant energy savings and limited visual impact, leaving the vineyard as the main character of the landscape. Walking through the winery, you will understand the distinguishing needs of each one of the steps in the wine production process.

There are at least three distinct areas of the winery that give meaning to this design.

The first is the great running mirror of water at the entrance with 90 large granite boulders placed throughout. Walkways allow the visitor to walk among the running water which cools the barrel room located beneath it.

This initial entry, with views of the cordillera and of the vineyard, sets the stage for the great fermentation bay. The work is done by natural light thanks to a roof with a semi-translucent membrane of PTFE.

OUR WINES
The holistic VIK wine is world-class, for long-term aging, and has the promise to become one of the best wines in the world. This exceptional wine is the result of an elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, blends which are chosen yearly in different combinations.

It has a long finish in the mouth and persistent retro-nasal aromas.

VIK is a complex, elegant wine full of pleasure.
