Cousiño-Macul’s 2003 Chardonnay Antiguas Reservas took top honours in the Chardonnay category at the annual judging conducted by the Guia de Vinos de Chile. The results appeared in the Guide’s 2005 Edition, now in its eleventh year of publication. The announcement was made at the Awards Dinner held at the Polo Club in Santiago on November 30, 2004. Matias Rivera, Head Winemaker, received the award on behalf of the Cousiño-Macul team.

Published in both Spanish and English, the Guia de Vinos de Chile is the most influential consumer guide in Chile. Similar to the French Hachette Guide to Wines, the Chilean guide ranks wines by numerical scores, by symbols, and also by price category.

Cousiño-Macul’s 2003 Antiguas Reservas Chardonnay was the highest-rated Chardonnay overall and was the first-place finisher in the over $10 category. It retails for just $13.99 in the United States which makes it an exceptional value considering its stellar rating.
