"A Chilean wine of incredible complexity with a finish that lingers on, according to James Suckling!"

“On the nose, aromas of warm bread, iodine, graphite, blackberries, blackcurrants, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s quite flavorful, with a medium- to full-bodied structure and an abundance of tight yet fine-grained tannins. A very long, taut finish, with notes of nuts and mussels lingering on the palate. A finish that seems to go on forever. [...] Excellent value for money from VIK. Drink now or cell it.” (James Suckling 2025)

About the wine:

Intense garnet red color. On the nose, complexity and balance are immediately apparent. Subtle notes of black fruit, tobacco, and fresh grass come together in perfect harmony. On the palate, the flavor lingers, enriched by silky tannins with great length.

The rest consists of third-use barrels, some of which have been reused and re-toasted. Excellent value for the price from VIK. Drink now or celller.

About the wine:

A true showcase of the producer’s style, the 2022 Milla Cala—a medium-bodied wine—is always crafted from a blend of four to five grape varieties. This particular vintage consists of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carménère, 7% Syrah, and 4% Merlot, all grown and harvested specifically for this wine, then fermented separately before blending. It was then aged for 18 months in “Barroir” French oak barrels—exclusive barrels made from oak sourced from the Vik estate. Pleasant to drink, elegant, and complex, it features supple, round tannins and an explosion of rich red fruit accented by baking spices. Magnificent. Enjoy now through 2033. 2026–2033

About the wine:

Milla Calla has been at the heart of VIK’s production since 2011, with the 2022 vintage yielding 260,000 bottles. This blend consists of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carménère, 7% Syrah, and the remainder Merlot, all sourced from VIK’s vineyards in the Millahue region of the Cachapoal Valley. The character of the Cabernet Sauvignon is predominant, with notes of black fruit and a distinct minty touch that adds freshness. On the palate, the wine is supple and fruity, with pleasant acidity and juicy tannins, reflecting the freshness of the 2022 vintage.
