A short film of another remarkable Chilean vineyard. This time we are in the Limari region, visiting Vina Tabali’s new Talinay vineyard. It’s not far from the coast, so it is a cool, windy site. But its most unusual feature is that it is limestone, which is rare in Chile. The Sauvignon and Pinot Noir from here (these are very young vines) are quite remarkable because of their strongly mineral character.

Seems pretty windy! Between the stiff breeze and the dry air it’s a wonder it isn’t an organic operation.
As it happens, I am having a Tabali wine on Boxing Day this year. http://bit.ly/g2MAbV
But the roots won’t “go down and explore” if irrigation is required
