About this winery

In this magical place which in the language of the indigenous Mapuche people means, "place of gold" the dream of Alex and Carrie Vik was born.

Production notes

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet was made using spontaneous fermentation (native yeasts). Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels then 6 months in Barroir ("chauffe" from local woods). Deep, porous decomposed granitic soil with good drainage. 2020 was a cool year; spring was inspired and verdant, while summer brought medium to high temperatures, enabling the tannins to ripen quickly and become crunchy and dynamic. Then, during an autumn of moderate temperatures without extremes, the harvest got underway, producing ripe fruit of a deep, dark colour.

Tasting notes

This 2020 blend is based on our 2 flagship varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, which seduces with its firm, elegant structure and lineal delivery of fine red fruit with bright, vibrant, velvety and slightly tense tannins that fill the palate. And Cabernet Franc with a fine, mineral profile balanced with unique acidity, which contributes a lovely and unforgettable finish.
