More information about Cousino-Macul Cabernet Sauvignon Antiguas Reservas
Wines of the series "Antiguas Reservas" are produced at Cousiño-Macul since 1927 and represent a limited selection of the best Cabernet Sauvignon grapes of the winery. With a great sense of tradition, the Cousiño family produces this Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in French oak and showing an intense ruby red color.
This exceptional red wine inspires above all by its perfect balance of fruit and wood without disturbing edges and corners. Aromas of prunes, blackberries and black currants flow from the glass as well as delicate notes of coffee and herbs. A great wine with an exceptionally long finish. Antiguas Reservas is without question one of the cult wines of the Maipo Valley!
The Cousiño-Macul winery is without a doubt one of the most prestigious names in Chilean winemaking. Founded in 1856, it is still managed by the Cousiño family. This makes it the oldest winery in Chile still owned by the founding family. The cellar in Macul, built during the founding period, is one of the most impressive wine cellars in the world: at a depth of 7 meters, the ancient limestone walls guarantee a constant temperature of 14 °C and a humidity of 75% - almost perfect conditions for the wines to mature. In the meantime, the winery has been expanded by two additional locations: not far from the Pacific Ocean, the fresh, fruit-driven wines are produced in Alhué, while the elegant long-lived wines are made in Buin (Alto-Maipo).
