VIK Stonevik
฿฿฿
Vik: curated notable producer.
From our sommelier team
A full-bodied, Cabernet Franc-dominant blend from VIK's Millahue terroir, aged in clay amphorae rather than oak, giving velvety, tightly layered tannins alongside blackberry, graphite, mushroom and sage notes with a long chocolatey finish.
Stonevik departs from Bordeaux-blend convention on two fronts: it is led by Cabernet Franc (roughly three-quarters of the blend) rather than Cabernet Sauvignon, and it is aged in amphorae made from clay excavated on the Millahue property itself — an unusual, terroir-literal approach to vessel choice rather than conventional French oak barrique aging.
Signature pairings
- Grilled lamb chops with herbs — Cabernet Franc's herbal, sage-like character and firm tannins pair naturally with herb-crusted grilled lamb.
- Mushroom risotto — The wine's own earthy, mushroom and graphite notes echo and reinforce a savory mushroom dish.
- Dark chocolate torte — The wine's own chocolatey finish can bridge into a not-too-sweet dark chocolate dessert.
VIK Stonevik is a Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the Millahue Valley in Chile's Cachapoal region. The wine displays a medium-full body with ripe dark plum and blackcurrant fruit on the nose, complemented by cedar and black pepper spice. Well-balanced tannins and moderate acidity make this a versatile food wine suitable for grilled meats, lamb, and hearty pasta dishes. The blend's structure suggests approachability in youth while retaining enough complexity for short-term cellaring.
