  2017 Finis Terrae Red, Cousino Macul

  £2895

  Finis Terrae, which is Latin for “End of the Earth”, is a flagship red blend that embodies the essence of the Maipo Valley and the winemaking heritage of Cousiño Macul. This wine represents the culmination of careful selection and blending, where only the finest barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the estate’s vineyards are chosen after extensive tasting trials to find the perfect expression of balance and harmony.

  Sourced from estate vineyards nestled in the Alto Maipo, where the cooling influence of the Andes meets warm valley sun, the 2017 Finis Terrae is a wine of depth, structure, and elegance.

  In the glass, it is richly aromatic, offering layers of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and cherry, intertwined with notes of cedar, tobacco, graphite, and a subtle touch of mocha and vanilla from well-integrated oak ageing.  On the palate, it is full-bodied and polished, with concentrated dark fruit flavours framed by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides lift and longevity. The texture is smooth yet structured, with a long, refined finish marked by hints of dark chocolate, spice, and forest floor.

  Elegant and cellar-worthy, the 2017 Finis Terrae is a true benchmark of Maipo Valley terroir and the Cousiño Macul philosophy, combining New World ripeness with Old World sophistication.

  2017 ‘Altazor’, Undurraga

  £5995

  An exceptional wine revealing expressive aromatic layers, balanced concentration and wonderful complexity. Deep red fruits and blackberries are underpinned by earthy nuances, subtle spice and mineral notes with a touch of tobacco. The structured palate shows depth of flavour and integrated tannins, through to an everlasting finish. Drinking Window 2022 – 2030

  The grapes for this wine were carefully selected from small plots. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from estate vineyards planted in the early 1990s, in Pirque and Los Morros, in Alto Maipo. The Pirque vineyard contains alluvial soils with medium composition with a high level of stone content, whereas Los Morros consists of soils of colluvial-alluvial origin. Both soil types have medium to low fertility, good depth of 1.5 to 2 metres and good drainage; ideal conditions to produce wines of character. The Carménère grapes come from an estate vineyard in the Colchagua Valley planted in the mid-1980s. The clay loam soil textures are dominant which is ideal for this variety as they retain soil moisture ensuring optimum and prolonged ripening. The Carignan grapes come from a rain-fed vineyard planted in 1958, in the Maule Valley. It contains soils with clay texture, high quartz content, subsoil of granitic origin and good drainage.

  2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Gold Reserve, Carmen – 3000ml/Jeroboam

  £25000

  This single-vineyard, ultra-premium, ultra-rare jeroboam of Vina Carmen’s Gold Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was imported by us many years ago along with a jeroboam of 2004 and has with its sibling been in our cellars ever since.   Yes, the label is slightly battered but the levels are perfect and it is a magnificent celebration drink!    As with all top end Cabernet Sauvignon it has the ability to age very well and the winemaker suggested a maturity date of 2025 for this vintage and wine.  The fact it is a Jeroboam should add another 5 years to that!    We recently opened a magnum of both the 2004 & 2005 and the wines were sensational.

  This 2005 is brimming with ripe berries, espresso, chocolate syrup and cassis with sweet, exotic spice aromas. Velvety on the palate with dense berry and mocha flavours, the tannins are powerful but ripe and the linger is substantial.  A family celebration bottle if ever there was!
