Viña VIK La Piu Belle 2018
About the wine
Critic darling - from Chile's #1 estate
- This is a dynamic, bold and lively blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère. Cristián calls it "La Piu Belle," because this wine shows off "the most beautiful" side of these two famous wines.
- It pays deep respect to Viña Vik – a world-famous Chilean estate in the Millahue region of Cachapoal Valley. Here, reds grow fresh and vibrant, thanks to cool sea breezes that sweep the vines nightly.
- La Piu Belle is one of three specialty releases you'll find from Cristián – that's a massive treat (Google what this costs anywhere else!)
