DESCRIPTION
Tabali Pedrogoso Gran Reserva Syrah 2023 comes from the Valle de Limarí near the ocean, on volcanic and limestone soils. Driven by a cool and windy climate, this Syrah develops an elegant and structured profile, combining aromatic intensity and mineral freshness. Carefully vinified and aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, it reveals an ample wine with notes of black fruits, a beautiful tension, and a long finish. 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, intense aromas of plums and black cherries, enhanced by mineral nuances and a subtle touch of spices. On the palate, an ample and structured attack, concentrated black fruits, beautiful freshness, and a balanced core with a long and harmonious finish. It pairs well with Peking duck or stews with sweet spices. Serve at 16°C. Aging potential of 5 years.
REGION
Coquimbo
Chile
Coquimbo is the northernmost wine region in Chile, with barely 2,000 hectares of vineyards, yet what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in character and singularity. Its three sub-regions, Limarí, Elqui and Choapa, offer a remarkable diversity of terroirs.
In the Limarí Valley, where vines have been cultivated for over 400 years, the limestone soils, low rainfall and a regular morning marine fog giving way to warm sunny afternoons all combine to give the wines a rare and distinctive minerality. Further north, the Elqui Valley, on the edge of the Atacama Desert, produces brilliant and intensely aromatic wines, particularly from Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah, where the secret to successful viticulture at such extreme latitudes lies in altitude. The vineyards here receive levels of solar radiation far higher than any wine region in Europe, which translates directly into the vibrancy and intensity of the wines.
From the briny minerality of Limarí whites to the sun-drenched, concentrated reds of Elqui, Coquimbo stands out as one of the most fascinating wine regions in the New World, understated, uncompromising, and unmistakably its own.
