DESCRIPTION
Tabali Talinay Sauvignon Blanc 2021 comes from the unique terroir of Valle de Limarí, located just 12 km from the Pacific Ocean. Thanks to a cool climate and a constant sea breeze, this wine benefits from late ripening, preserving all its freshness and aromas. The limestone soils, originating from an ancient marine terrace, impart a distinct minerality to the wine. Vinified in stainless steel tanks. Established in 2002 in Limarí, on the edge of the Atacama Desert, Tabalí is a pioneer of viticulture in this valley. The estate crafts wines that span Chile from east to west within the same valley, from its high-altitude Roca Madre vineyard in the Andes to the coastal Talinay vineyards near the Pacific Ocean. The range is crafted by winemaker Felipe Muller and viticulturist Hector Rojas.
On the nose, delicate floral and citrus aromas. On the palate, fresh and vibrant, offering a harmonious and elegant complexity. It pairs well with oysters and seafood or a warm goat cheese salad. Serve between 6 and 8°C. Aging potential of 5 years.
REGION
Coquimbo
Chile
Coquimbo is the northernmost wine area in Chile, with barely 2,000 hectares of vines. What the region lacks in size, it more than makes up for in character and individuality. Its three subregions, Limarí, Elqui and Choapa, offer a remarkable diversity of terroirs.
In the Limarí Valley, where vines have been grown for over 400 years, limestone soils, low rainfall and a morning sea fog regularly followed by a warm, sunny afternoon give the wines a rare and distinctive minerality. Further north, the Elqui Valley, at the gateway to the Atacama Desert, produces bright, intensely aromatic wines, especially Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah, where the secret to successful viticulture lies in altitude. The vineyards receive far higher levels of sunlight than any European wine region, which shows in the vibrancy and intensity of the wines.
From the saline minerality of Limarí whites to the sunny, concentrated reds of Elqui, Coquimbo stands out as one of the most fascinating wine regions of the New World: confidential, demanding and truly singular.
