2018 Tabali 'Vetas Blancas' Pinot Noir

The Vetas Blancas Pinot Noir is sourced from two of the estates Vineyards, The Talinay and the Espinal vineyards. The Espinal is slightly further inland than Talinay, but both are considered cool climate regions. Pinot Noir thrives in cooler climates, where it is allowed to ripen slowly and develop all of the nuances that the variety is known for. Tabali handles their Pinot Noir in a style that is somewhere between modern and classic and the result is stunning.

Felipe Müller was born and raised in Chile’s capital, Santiago. Today, at the age of 41, he is considered one of the country´s most influential and important winemakers. In 2006 he joined Tabalí as Chief Winemaker. According to Felipe Müller “Tabalí, though relatively young, has enormous potential, as shown by its outstanding Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Syrah wines”. The winery’s goal is to make the finest wines of the Limari Valley and ultimately become a reference at a national level, by exploring new terroir, new plantations, and new selections of clones.

Felipe Müller was named ‘Best Winemaker of the Year’ in the sixteenth version of “Guía de Vinos de Chile 2010”, Chile’s oldest and most prestigious wine industry publication. This distinction was an important recognition for the enthusiasm, passion, and dedication he puts in crafting wines.

100% Pinot Noir. Deep, shiny, ruby red color. The nose displays complex, fresh aromas with outstanding fruity intensity, full of cherries, strawberries, and spices, all perfectly integrated with the French oak. In the mouth, this wine is fresh, delicate, and well-balanced with good acidity. The 2018 Tabali 'Vetas Blancas' Pinot Noir has seductive wine with an elegant and pronounced finish.

Moving between two distinct territories, one fruity with ripe cherries and the other with earthy notes, this Pinot offers delicious complexity and freshness. All these aromas are repeated in the mouth, in a medium body, with firm and juicy tannins, which are distributed in the mouth like a fabric, providing structure and tension. 70% of the grapes for this wine come from the alluvial, clayey and calcareous soils of the El Espinal vineyard, about 29 kilometers from the sea, in Limarí. The rest is complemented by the almost pure calcareous soils of Talinay, much closer to the sea, about 12 kilometers away. ~94 Descorchados
