DESCRIPTION
A delicate and aromatic Chilean Viognier from the northern Limari Valley.
The lowdown:
The fruit for this comes from vineyards near the edge of the Atacama desert in the north of the country. Aged in stainless steel before bottling to preserve the freshness the result is a bright and expressive wine which delivers floral, honeyed and citrus flavours on the nose and palate and a chalky minerality typical of the region. Its soft and rounded texture gives the right mouthfeel.
When to drink:
With its graceful aromatic character this is a good match to similarly aromatic Thai and Asian cuisine.
Suitable for Vegans
PRODUCER
Vina Tabali

Established in 2002, Tabalí is a pioneer and iconic winery situated in Limari, on the edge of the Atacama Desert in one of the northernmost vineyard regions of Chile.
They were one of the first wineries to settle in Limarí and their wines faithfully reflect their place of origin in which climate and soils play a fundamental role, and bring out the potential of each of their vineyards. After years of geological research, Tabalí is the only winery that produces wines that cross Chile from east to west in the same valley, from their incredibly high and remote site of Roca Madre (the second highest vineyard in Chile) in the Andes Mountains' Rio Hurtado area down to their cool climate, 'Camanchaca' fog blanked vineyards by the Pacific Ocean. In their quest for the perfection, they now also have a site in the renowned Cabernet and Merlot region of Maipo Valley. The result is a range of truly distinctive wines with elegance, restraint and minerality which the dynamic team of Felipe Müller, chief winemaker, and Hector Rojas, viticulturalist, have attributed to their cabinet full of the wine world's most prestigious trophies.
In 2014, Felipe Müller was name 'Chilean Young Winemaker of the Year' and acclaimed for his ability to understand Tabali's distinctive terroir and use it to create remarkable wines, unique for Chile. Tabalí also 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.
