The portfolio is led by the Vik and Milla Cala duo, both a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Carménère with small additions of Merlot. Both will happily cellar for 15 to 20 years. In 2020, Viña Vik released a rosé as a part of its La Piu Belle range which is created as a homage to the art of winemaking. In 2022, the brand expanded with the addition of a Champagne into the La Piu Belle range. The 70-percent Chardonnay and 30-percent Pinot Noir cuveé was produced in 2009 vintage and after 12 years of aging has reached optimal maturity for release. Vik vinyards are located amoungst the foothills of the Andes mountains and are planted across 12 small valleys creating multiple microclimates and terroirs. 808 acres (327 ha) of company vineyards are grown here to a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah. Located between the Pacific Ocean and the snow-topped mountains, year-round cool temperatures allows for grapes to ripen whilst retaining acidity levels.
