About the Wine

 

Each year there is a small allocation of Tabali's limited Viognier bottling released outside of Chile.  Limarí's climate seems to be a perfect match for the varietal, and stainless steel fermentation and aging ensures that the lush fruit takes center stage.  This is a classic Viognier, with a great blend of fruit and just the right amount of sweetness.  Refreshing to the palate.  Note:  Goes great with salty foods.  With Tabali’s Pinot Noir in one hand, and Tabali Viognier in the other, what could go wrong!  These are two of our most popular wines due to their taste and low expense.

 

Varietal: Viognier

Wine Type: Red Wine

Origin: Chile

Tasting Notes

 

Extremely fresh and fruity, with classic floral and nectarine aromas. More layers of stone fruit saturate the palate. The absence of oak keeps this fresh, finishing almost off-dry.  Served cold and over ice, a fantastic taste sensation.
