The vineyard is planted on a gentle, south-facing slope and therefore receives much less sunshine in the summer. It is quite windy in the afternoon due to its proximity to the Maipo River gorge. All these factors make this vineyard cooler than the rest of Maipo. The grapes therefore ripen more slowly, producing fresher and more elegant wines. The subsoil is rocky, with many pebbles, which is beneficial for Cabernet Sauvignon, as this grape thrives in poor soils and produces wines with great character and depth.
Every task in the vineyard, from pruning to harvesting, is carefully supervised by the viticultural and winemaking team to obtain the highest quality fruit. The grapes are harvested by hand in twenty-kilo bins to prevent damage to the fruit. Harvest began in the first week of April, when this variety had reached optimal phenolic ripeness. The clusters were then carefully selected, destroyed, and selected one last time. Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Maceration follows alcoholic fermentation. The wine is aged for ten months in French oak barrels.
A beautiful deep red color. The wine has a full palate, with refined aromas reminiscent of plums and cherries. The Tabali Pedregoso Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is elegant and balanced. A very attractive wine that expresses the enormous potential of this grape variety in the Limarí Valley. The wine has plenty of structure and a lovely, long finish. It will age well in the bottle.
