Light and elegant, like a goddess. VIK La Piu Belle Rosé is named after a goddess revered by Millahue's indigenous people, whose name simply translates as “the most beautiful”.
Grape varietal & region: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Syrah. The fruit for this wine comes from a selection of VIK's vineyards in Cachapoal Valley. From the western-most and coolest sectors of the property, which receive a certain influence from the Pacific.
Taste profile: Pale pink colour. The nose exudes ripe red berries, accents of graphite and floral scents of lavender and violet. Strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant fruit flavours with a hint of grapefruit citrus, passionfruit and ripe melon. Every sip has a mouthwatering freshness, luscious fruit flavours and light texture. Closes with a citrus zest finish. Notes of summer stone fruit, apricots, and passion fruit with a surprising hint of citrus on the finish.
The perfect wine to enjoy by the poolside on a hot summer’s day.
Winemaking process: After harvesting and sorting the grapes by hand, they go through a gentle pressing. After fermentation, the wine ages for 1 month in new French oak barrels and just over 1 month in used French oak barrels.
After giving renowned painter Javier de Aubeyzon a bottle of this pure Millahue character, they set him free to bring La Piu Belle Rosé to life. Paintbrush to canvas, he was guided by the spirit of a mysterious woman and this wine’s pulse, now one and the same.
A face came first, ethereal beauty radiating, La Piu Belle’s vibrance in human form. Beautiful bouquets surround her to create a balance between tenderness and intensity, to soften her enigmatic force. La Piu Belle goes beyond the bottle. She represents the energy among the vines, the power within VIK's grapes and the allure of this Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc Rosé blend. She is the essence of VIK, their new Art piece.
A label that reflects the beauty of all women. A face with unique features, a mix of different women around the world.
The project took almost 2 years, starting with a canvas, then painted on a bottle and finally was made into a sleeve.

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
