A very polished, spicy red made by VIK from five cépages from the Cachapoal Valley, Chile. Ripe cassis from Cabernet Sauvignon whose tannins also contribute structure. Tomato leaf aromatics hint at Cabernet Franc, leafy aromatics indicate Carmenére, Merlot delivers a velvety, silky mouthfeel, whilst Syrah brings body and smoothness. Enjoy!

Milla Cala

Milla Cala reveals the most perfect, fine expression and includes all the varieties in our terroir. The Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure, tension, and character, while the Merlot delivers a velvety mouthfeel with a silky edge. The Carmenère brings consistent, enjoyable body, while the acidity of the Cabernet Franc generates a symphonic movement of the tannins that closes with the smoothness of the Syrah.

On the nose, the red fruit of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot intermingle perfectly with the black fruit and spice of the Carmenère, the mineral hint of the Cabernet Franc, and the blue floral notes of the Syrah. The wine spends 20 months in French oak "Barroir" barrels (barrels toasted with oak from our property).

Tasting
NOTES

Intense polished black fruit; sweet, ripe cassis, cacao and tomato leaf with green herbal aromatics hinting at Carmenère. Outstanding definition. Well defined on the palate with firm, polished tannins, rich fruit and a lush, dense texture enhanced by overt sweet oak kept in check by fine acidity. Developed and tertiary notes appear alongside the fruit character; black pepper, olive, cigar and herbal spices. Juicy, fresh, cool and elegant - this wine can be enjoyed right now.

Food
PAIRINGS

A rich and intense red that will need strong flavours to pair well. Best enjoyed with Cantonese roast duck, or entrecôte, herb butter and chips, or earthy vegetables such as Jerusalem artichoke and mushrooms.
