Tabalí Pedregoso
Sauvignon Blanc • Limarí Valley
"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 cold-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 tight, 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 reminiscent of the sea breeze.

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