Sourced from the historic Micas vineyard in Peumo, Cachapoal, where vines planted in 1950 flourish under ideal Mediterranean conditions, this Carmenère offers exceptional depth and balance. The vineyard’s northerly aspect ensures optimal sunlight, allowing the grapes to reach perfect physiological and phenolic ripeness at harvest, while naturally low yields concentrate flavours and intensify complexity. Hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, the grapes undergo cold maceration and controlled fermentation before 18 months of French oak ageing, producing a wine that is both elegant and expressive. With vibrant violet hues, a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, green pepper, and gentle spice, and a richly textured palate supported by smooth tannins and lively acidity, this Carmenère is a benchmark for Chilean reds, combining power with finesse and finishing long and memorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1388\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003eMeet the producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1172\"\u003eEstablished in 2002, Viña Tabalí is a pioneering winery on the edge of the Atacama Desert, renowned for precision, site-driven wines, and a dedication to capturing the unique terroirs of northern and central Chile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1765\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1404\"\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1407\"\u003eThe grapes are hand-picked into 20kg boxes, carefully selected, destemmed, and cold-macerated for seven days before fermentation in small stainless steel tanks.
