WINES OF CHILE

32

Classic Cabernet Sauvignon

This Cabernet Sauvignon displays the rich fruit quality offered by Maipo Valley wines. Fermentation in

stainless steel tanks preserves its fruit-forward profile. Deep violet in color with garnet edges, this wine

immediately shows its vibrancy. Aromas of ripe plum and blueberry are followed by a rich palate of plum,

currant, and blackberry. Bright acidity allows this wine to pair exquisitely with food. Firm, round tannins

allow for a long silky finish.

Antiguas Reservas Cabernet Sauvignon

First bottled in 1927, Antiguas Reservas Cabernet Sauvignon is the oldest continuously produced wine

in Chile. The family’s signature wine is widely viewed as the benchmark for Chilean Cabernet. Sourced

from the Alto-Maipo appellation (20 percent from the Macul Estate, 80 percent from the Buin Estate), it

is aged twelve months in French oak barrels. Showcasing a dark ruby red color, this wine offers intense

fruity aromas of blackberries with fresh spice notes followed on the palate by harmonious flavors of red

and black fruit. Medium-bodied, this wine has a persistent and complex finish with a structure that allows

it to be enjoyed now, or left to age for up to a decade.

Finis Terrae

A reflection of the best of the Upper Maipo

terroir

, Finis Terrae is handcrafted by sampling hundreds of

blends until the ideal balance of fruit, acid, tannin, alcohol and oak are achieved. Sourced 100 percent

from the Maipo Valley appellation (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah), 50 percent from the Macul

Estate, 50 percent from the Buin Estate, it is aged fifteen months in French oak barrels. With a deep

cherry color, the Finis Terrae showcases an intense nose of red fruit with subtle eucalyptus and spice. It

also offers very elegant and discrete wood notes with clove. In the mouth it is very tasty and elegant,

medium-bodied and succulent. Cherries stand out on the very long ending. Perfect for enjoying now, but

can be cellared for over a decade.
