More about Viña Tabalí
Tabali winery and vineyards is in one of the northern-most wine regions in Chile, Limarí. They started planting vineyards in 1993 on virgin lands in an area that wasn’t well known for wine. They hit gold though with chalky soils and cool, coastal conditions that are the key to their stellar Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc among other varieties including their top-of-the-range Syrah.
Nowadays, Tabalí remains largely focussed on the Limarí Valley with vineyards close to the ocean and in the Andean foothills, but in 2013, they also acquired a vineyard in the traditional Maipo Valley to produce high-end Cabernet Sauvignon.
