The 100-Point Vertical

VIK is the wine that took the estate to the top of the World's Best Vineyards list. These are its two most decorated vintages to date. VIK 2021 earned 100 points from James Suckling in February 2024 and 100 points at the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge in January 2025, where it also took a Double Gold. VIK 2022 reached 100 points at the same Gilbert & Gaillard Challenge, with 99 points from James Suckling and 97 from Colin Hay at The Drinks Business.
 
What you taste across the two is the same Cabernet Franc-led identity reading two different seasons. The 2022 came from one of the coldest spring-summer cycles Millahue has seen in two decades, which gave it a finer, more mineral structure, with vibrant tannins and notes of blackberry, graphite, fine liquorice, and cassis. The 2021 is the rounder, broader vintage, and the one your cellar has likely come to know first. Side by side, the contrast is the point: precision against generosity, from the same soil and the same hands.

Brought together for the first time as a single set. Aged in VIK's proprietary Barroir barrels, toasted with native oak from the estate. Serve at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius.
