Cousiño Macul Finis Terrae
Wine Description
Finis Terrae (“the end of the world”) is one of Chile’s pioneering premium blends and a heartfelt tribute to its fertile lands.
This homage to the soils at the end of the world is a blend of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah from each vintage. It reflects the unique character of Cousiño Macul estates in the Upper Maipo Valley.
For Finis Terrae, Cousiño Macul goes to the ends of the earth to find the best expression and most concentrated flavors. Grapes from the oldest ungrafted massal selections capture the ultimate richness and flavors from the heart of Chile. It is crafted by sampling hundreds of blends until the ideal balance of fruit, acid, tannin, alcohol, and oak is achieved.
