Dama de Plata Cabernet Sauvignon 100% of this wine comes from a specific vineyard in Buin, specially managed and dedicated to the best Cabernet Sauvignon of this Estate. The Malbec and Syrah come from small blocks of varieties. After a manual harvest it passes through a strict selection inside the cellar, a maceration at low temperature (44.6 F) that takes one week then the fermentation is started at an average temperature of 77 F. This process takes 12 days and is finished with a post-fermentative maceration for greater extraction of color and aromas for two weeks. After maceration, 100% of this wine is transferred to second use French Oak barrels, where it ages for 12 months while it goes through a full malolactic fermentation. After this period in barrels, it is transferred to stainless steel tanks for stabilization and it is finally bottled. 2015 : 92 JS 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. 2012 : 92 JS | 2011 : 92 JS, 90 V, 91 WA | 2009 : 90 WA | 2008 : 91 WA Lota First released to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Cousiño-Macul, Lota is a rich, intricate, and deeply layered icon wine with outstanding quality and intensity.
