Join us for a fun-filled evening focused on the wines from Cousiño Macul of Chile's Alto Maipo with proprietor, Veronica Cousino and their winemaker Rosario Palma!
Founded in 1856, Cousiño Macul is the only winery in Chile established during the 19th century that still belongs entirely to the founding family. At age 37, Isidora Cousiño single-handedly fulfilled her late husband’s dream of owning and operating a premier Chilean winery. A passion for wine still unites the family after more than 150 years and seven generations, and Isidora’s great-great-granddaughter, Verónica Cousiño, joined the winery in 2008.
All of Cousiño Macul’s vines are ungrafted and come from massal selections from their own nursery. This has allowed for the preservation of valuable genetic material, initially brought to Chile by Luis Cousiño in 1860, including Cabernet and Merlot varieties from Pauillac in Haut-Medoc and Sauvignon Gris from Martillac in Graves. In 1994, the capital city of Santiago had expanded to the point of completely surrounding the original Macul estate in the southeast of the city, so the family invested in 750 acres of land in Buin. Both estates are part of the subregion known as Alto Maipo, named for its high altitude at the foot of the Andes Mountains. Few wine producers have the opportunity to make a completely new start, incorporating the best of their age-old experience and the most contemporary technology available. As technology continues to advance in the vineyards and wineries around the world, Cousiño Macul has seized this opportunity to innovate while staying true to its long history.
