2022 Viña Vik Winery La Píu Belle Rosé

The La Piu Belle Rosé Limited edition of vintage 2022 is the 4th year of this incredibly beautiful rosé wine from VIK. This is incomparable in terms of wine and decoration with almost all rosés and VIK Winery calls it their new Masterpiece. It is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Syrah coming from the Andean vineyards in Millahue, Cachapoal Valley. In addition to the unique mineral soil, the distinctive character is certainly the cool sea breeze that blows in from the flanks of the Andes and the height of the vineyards. This ensures an unprecedented freshness and elegance. Part of the La Piu Belle Rosé also gets a few months of aging in used French oak barrels and then a long bottle aging.

The grapes were of course harvested by hand in early March with a double selection. To preserve the aromas, the wine is pressed 100% whole and undergoes a long, cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Energetic and elegant that is the La Piu Belle 2021. The wine is fruity with a dry aftertaste. The Cabernet Sauvignon gives the nose ripe red berries and round tannins in the middle of the mouth. Cabernet Franc adds notes of graphite and floral scents of lavender and violet. The Syrah some spicy mineral notes. Mixed they present aromas of summer stone fruit, apricots and passion fruit with a surprising hint of citrus in the aftertaste.

This is a great wine with smoked salmon on toast with ricotta and extra virgin olive oil. Fresh pappardelle with tomato sauce, grated parmesan and basil leaves. Lobster baked in butter and steamed fresh vegetables or with Paella, but just as beautiful to take a glass and enjoy solo. This is incomparable to the average rosé and is a wine that can be stored for a few years.

About Vina Vik Winery

In 2004, Alex and Carrie Vik started an entire team with the audacious goal of making one of the best wines in the world. After a two-year search, the best terroir was found in Chile's Millahue Valley. Millahue Valley means "Place of Gold". The vineyard is planted in the interior of the valley, offering a variety of terroirs and small microclimates cooled by the coastal breeze. The vineyards consist of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah. The winery was designed by Chilean architect Smiljan Radic in collaboration with Alex and Carrie Vik. It has been carefully designed to have minimal impact on the landscape. A state-of-the-art, highly durable, technologically creative and visually stunning experience. The winery was completed in 2014.

Under the leadership of the Chilean Patrick Valette (wine consultant, Château Pavie and with French roots) and the current winemaker Cristián Vallejo involved in the project from the start, a beautiful company has been set up since 2005. We work very sustainably, harvesting is completely manual and fermentation takes place naturally without added yeasts. Today, VIK produces four exceptional red wines and a rosé. They are justifiably very proud that VIK, La Piu Belle, Milla Cala and "A" have received ratings well into the 90's such as 99 points from James Suckling, a Master Medal from The Drink Business and Platinum and Gold Medals of the Decanter, along with many other awards.

A mirror of water in the wine cellar cools the barrel cellar without consuming energy. The translucent roof makes it possible to work during the day without artificial light. Inspired by the purity of our wines, we have developed the concept of "Barroir". We roast used and new French barrels with oak from our hills and build our own barrels in our cooperage. These barrels made by the estate embody the taste of the terroir. Because they approach all work holistically, they only use fallen hundred-year-old trees that can be found on the immense estate.

In 2019, Wine Enthusiast Magazine unveiled their 20th Annual Wine Star Awards and named VIK the Wine Star for 'Best Winery Experience'. In 2021, the competition ranked VIK as 8th prestigious winery among the 50 World's Best Vineyards and iViña Vik has therefore very quickly joined the icon wines from Chile and is now also among the global top.
