Tabali Talinay Pinot Noir 2017

Grape Varietals & Region:100% Pinot Noir sourced from the Talinay vineyard in Limar Valley. The Limar Valley lies in one of the most Northern winegrowing regions in Chile. 12km from the Pacific Ocean, where there is a constant cool sea breeze. The Camanchaca fog rejuvenates the vineyards with cool and moist air on summer mornings, while the afternoon sun provides a warm and dry condition. This cooling effect is similar to that of the Napa Valley in California. The vineyards are planted in calcareous soils where the rock is limestone. This is a place with a geological phenomenon that is unique in Chile and that gives a very particular characteristic to the wines.

Taste Profile: Clean and shiny red colour. This Pinot Noir has a fresh and distinctive earthy character with long, crisp and fruity finish. It has complex mineral notes and finely balanced flavours of abundant red fruits. The mouth is highly textured, rich and creamy. Providing a long, crisp and fruity finish. The complex nose is intense and citrusy with passion fruit and green aromas. Fresh, clean and captivating finish. The high acidity on the palate also gives freshness and life to the wine.
