Tabalí Pedregoso
Sauvignon Blanc • Limarí Valley
Wine from Chile
"Mineral Purity from Limarí: a vibrant and saline Sauvignon Blanc born in calcareous soils under the direct influence of the Pacific Ocean."
Coastal and Calcareous Character
Tabalí Pedregoso is a masterful interpretation of cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc. Originating from one of Chile's most promising wine regions, the Limarí Valley, this wine moves away from traditional tropical styles to offer a tense, vertical, and deeply mineral experience. Its character is forged by alluvial soils rich in calcium carbonate, resulting in a white wine with an elegance and salinity that recall the sea breeze.

5. The Limarí Terroir
The Limarí Valley is considered the paradise of white wines in Chile. The proximity to the sea (barely 12 km) and the constant presence of the "camanchaca" (coastal fog) allow the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving delicate primary aromas. Tabalí’s Pedregoso series is a tribute to the stony soils where roots seek depth, delivering a wine that is pure liquid geology.
