Tabali, Pedregoso Gran Reserva Carmenere 2023

Tabalí’s Pedregoso Gran Reserva Carmenère 2023 is a powerful, concentrated Chilean red that showcases just how expressive old-vine Carmenère can be. Sourced from a very old vineyard planted in 1950, it combines depth, structure and a distinctly regional character, with the kind of intensity that has made Tabalí one of Chile’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
Deep and inviting in the glass, this Carmenère shows a dark, насыщенный ruby-purple colour. The nose is layered with blackcurrant, plum, olive, chocolate and warm spice, opening gradually with aeration. On the palate it is full-bodied, ripe and characterful, with generous dark fruit, a savoury edge and supple tannins wrapped around a concentrated, intense core. The wine feels both powerful and polished, with a long finish and enough structure to develop further over the next several years.

Production
The grapes come from an old Carmenère parcel in Cachapoal, planted in 1950 on a north-facing slope that benefits from afternoon sun and excellent ripening conditions. The soils are decomposed granite, allowing deep root penetration and contributing mineral nuance, while the very low yields create remarkable concentration. Harvest takes place late, around the beginning of June, to ensure fully ripe tannins and acidity. Fermentation is extended on the skins for maximum flavour and structure, followed by around 20 months of ageing in French oak barriques.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for lamb chops with peppers, beef pot-au-feu, and mature cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for 30–60 minutes if possible to allow the wine to fully open and show its complexity.

Producer
Tabalí is one of Chile’s standout producers, known for crafting wines with precision, depth and a clear sense of place. The estate has earned a strong reputation for working with distinctive sites and old vines, and this Carmenère reflects that approach beautifully, showing both the power of the variety and the elegance that has helped put Tabalí on the map.
