Chateau Los Boldos Vineyard Presentation:
This Tradition Shiraz 2005 wine (Sirah), a dark black colour, has a very attractive aroma, typical of Syrah. On the nose, the aromas of spices, black pepper, olives and fresh tobacco stand out. On the palate, the tannins are very rounded, almost sugary. With a good concentration, this Tradition Syrah has a long finish in the mouth.

Santa Carolina Vineyard Description:
“Our exclusive Petit Verdot, inimitable due to its unique characteristics, is a wine with an intense scarlet red colour which is exuberant and complex. It offers a wide range of fruit aromas, perfectly integrated with the sweet tones of vanilla and cocoa which come from its 18 month period in French oak barrels. Serve between 18 and 20ºC”.

J. Bouchon Vineyard Presentation:
Bouchon is a family vineyard created in 1892. The cellar and vineyards are located in the Maule Valley with a total of 370 hectares. Our grapes are harvested and selected by hand. The combination of old vines, the care taken of the vineyards and a good handling at the cellar enables us to obtain this excellent wine†.
SurVino:
This is a sober wine. Its most notable feature is its attractive cherry colour (ruby red). Its bouquet has little to offer, a slight sense of acid fruits (plum and blackcurrents). It is very dry on the palate, without a balance of other flavours which could have been given by the wood and the tannins. It is very good to accompany roasted meats, if the food and cost savings are what matters; it won’t stand out, but it won’t ruin anything either.

Cousino–Macul Vineyard description:
“This wine was created in 1968 in honour of Matias Cousino, our founder. Initially it was matured in 1800 litre oak barrels for 2 years, with grapes harvested from the Macul vineyards. Today it is a blended wine with grapes harvested from the Buin vineyards where the Cabernet Sauvignon brings the character, the Merlot its delicacy and the maturing in French holm oak barrels brings the complexity. It has an expressive bouquet where the strawberry and the smooth toasted flavour of the wood are blended so that on the palate it tastes fresh, flavourful and full of nuances. Without doubt a new concept which will remind us very well of our founder in the renewed times of Cousinoo Macul while looking ahead to the next 150 years”
SurVino:
Without a doubt, this classic of Chilean viticulture makes a bid to stand out in a market full of Cabernet Sauvignon, which with few exceptions leaves us some surprises in among its already famous virtues. The vineyards located in Macul are mainly reserved for the production of “Antiguas Reservas”, for which reason we find a new wine with 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 60% from the Buin vineyards, 40% from the traditional Macul vineyards, and making up the blend 15% of Merlot.
The result is a less bodied wine, smooth and complex on the palate.
