MAIPO VALLEY - COUSIÑO MACUL
The original Cousiño family’s wine estate in Santiago’s Macul district dates back to 1856 but lies on land planted to vines since the 1500s. All the vines were imported directly from Europe in 1863 and since then their genetic integrity has been closely guarded. Cousiño Macul has never purchased vines externally nor sold plants from its nursery since this date. In 1870, a then state-of-the-art winery was built (which remains one of the family’s proudest achievements), and became one of Chile’s top tourist attractions with the glorious Cousiño Park surrounding it.
Clean aromas of orange peel, mandarine, apple and perhaps a touch of mango, with floral undertones of jasmine and honeysuckle. The palate is silky and lively, with lots of lemon, lime and mandarine flavours.Send to a friend or post on:
