Tabal Pedregoso Gran Reserva Malbec is a refined expression of Malbec from the coastal Limar Valley, planted on alluvial soils enriched with calcareous veins along the southern bank of the Limar River. The Espinal vineyards unique geologystony alluvial terraces interspersed with limestone dust deposited by ancient glaciersgives the wine remarkable freshness and a distinct mineral character that sets it apart from other Chilean Malbecs. Hand-harvested at optimal aromatic and phenolic ripeness, the grapes undergo gentle fermentation in small stainless steel tanks, followed by post-fermentation maceration and 12 months of maturation in French oak barrels. The result is a vibrant, elegant wine with depth, precision, and a long, persistent finish.

The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels to integrate flavours and achieve a polished finish.
