Tabalí Reserve Chardonnay 2004

"For excitement head to Limari" says the Sunday Times. To the north of Santiago, between the Pacific coast and the Atacama Desert, it's a remote region carving an international reputation for its "really exciting wines" (Jancis Robinson MW) - in particular "world-class Chardonnay" (The FT).

And Tabalí is leading the way. This small family winery may be on the edge of the desert but proximity to the sea means a cool climate - and remarkably elegant wines. And Tabalí Reserve Chardonnay 2004 is no exception … it was the only Chardonnay from Chile to win Gold at the 2005 International Wine Challenge, out-tasting some super-expensive whites from Burgundy and beyond. If you enjoy sophisticated Chardonnay, you'll love this!

"Fresh, intense and complex on the nose - tantalising mineral notes backed by hints of honey and citrus. Deliciously rich and ripe thanks to three years bottle age, with a creamy, toasty finish after nearly a year in oak. Treat as you would a fine white Burgundy … perfect with seafood and white meats."
