Tabali Pedregoso Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

Most of Tabali's wines come from the Limari region. This region is a bit cool for Cabernet Sauvignon, which prevents the grapes from ripening perfectly. That's why Tabali chose vineyards in the Maipo Valley for this red wine, considered the ideal location for this grape variety.

The vineyards for this Cabernet Sauvignon

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.
