Producer Tasting Note:
This wine, with its intense and brilliant ruby-red colour, stands out on the nose for its aromas of ripe black fruit, such as plum, cherry, and cassis. Notes of red bell pepper, wood, and coffee beans can also be appreciated. On the palate, it has a smooth entry with intense and elegant tannins. It presents high acidity, with a long finish and persistent fruity notes.
Established in 1856, the Cousino Macul estate is located just south of Santiago, and is still a family owned company. "Finis Terrae" means "End of the earth" in Latin.
Critical Acclaim:
Awarded 93/100 points in Tim Atkin MW's Chilean Report, 2026
Food Match: This wine is ideal to accompany red meats such as a beef fillet with mushroom sauce or game meats, such as duck à l'orange. As a vegetarian option, try roasted aubergine accompanied by rice with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley
