2022 Tabali Pedregoso Merlot Gran Reserva, Limari Valley 14.0%

Dense in colour with deep, plummy, but accessible fruit showing fine breadth of flavour with gentle tannins and a long finish. Pedregoso means "stony" in Spanish and the name reflects the stony soils on which the grapes are grown.

Situated in one of the northernmost vineyard regions in Chile, approaching the edge of the Atacama Desert, Tabalí commands a unique location in the heart of the Limarí Valley. The local 'Camanchaca' fog blankets the Limarí area each morning and afternoon coastal breezes bring cool air which moderates the ripening of the grapes. The result is a range of truly distinctive wines with elegance, restraint and minerality. The dynamic young team lead by Felipe Muller (winemaker) and Hector Rojas (viticulturalist) have already scooped a cabinet full of the wine world's most prestigious trophies. Tabalí has the honour of stewardship of the Limarí Valley's most significant archaeological sites, the mystical 'Valle del Encanto' ('Enchanted Valley') which borders their vineyards. A sacred site of the ancient Molle and Diaguita culture, the many rock drawings and carved Tacita stones depict an ancient way of life. The Tabalí mask logo has been taken from one of these rock carvings, which can only be seen at certain times of day when the sun's alignment makes them magically appear. The leading Chilean newspaper El Mercurio, published an article on January 10th 2014 naming the two best winemakers of Chile. In the article, Felipe Müller is honoured for his ability to understand Tabali´s distinctive terroir and use it to create remarkable wines, unique for Chile. According to the newspaper: "Today, more than ever, the wines of Tabalí are among the best wines produced in Chile". For his achievement Felipe Müller is nicknamed "The Interpreter" and chosen as "Best Young Winemaker".
