Viña VIK 'Omega' Carménère 2022
The Viña VIK 'Omega' Carménère is an elegant red blend of Carménère (87%), Cabernet Sauvignon (8%) and Syrah (5%). The grapes were carefully sorted and vinified in the gravity fed cellar. Fermentation took place with wild yeasts in small, temperature controlled stainless steel tanks of 18,000 litres, followed by malolactic conversion. The wine was then aged in French barriques for 12 months in a combination of used barrels, recycled barrels and ‘barroir’, barrels that were made at the VIK winery. This elegant and precise blend shows the amazing personality of the Carménère with soft and velvety tannins, dynamic layers of ripe red fruits, vanilla and hints of spice and lovely finesse. The Cabernet Sauvignon accentuates with a superb structure that makes the wine vibrant and adds tension, while the blue tones of the Syrah enhance the delicacy of this wine.
