Holism is the concept that best reflects the VIK spirit. It is the perfect union of humans and nature as an integrated whole. The holistic wines are the result of a magnificent, dynamic terroir and the best winegrowing and winemaking techniques and practices, coupled with superlative work to protect and enhance the environment, concern for human and social development, and a focus on art and architecture. Cristian Vallejo, Vik’s chief winemaker, is considered a “terroir purist”, inventing his own concepts of barroir (barrels toasted with wood of roble trees that have fallen on their lands) and amphoir (amphoras made with clay from Millahue).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54799823995265,"sku":null,"price":159.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2019-Vik_460af2f9-49da-4dd9-9ac7-4e832c649c2b.png?v=1764927927"},{"product_id":"2021-milla-cala-vi-a-vik","title":"2021 Milla Cala, Viña VIK","description":"\u003cp\u003eA signature blend of all the varieties on the VIK estate, the red fruit notes from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot intermingle perfectly with the black fruit and spice of the Carmenère, all underpinned by a mineral hint of Cabernet Franc and the violet nuances of Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSituated within the valley’s interior, the vineyard benefits from a rich tapestry of diverse terroirs and microclimates.
