With this fact, the group puts its feet down on both most interesting emerging wine-zones in Chile. "The group gets installed on the two emerging wine-zones which are currently the most interesting in the local scene", said VSP Wine Group's CEO, Pablo Turner.

Tabalí continues this way the path of producing fine wines, and looks for widen its product's portfolio, reaching important synergies. Viña Leyda comes to complete, in terms of appellation, winemaking, worldwide distribution, and product's categories, the  special features, portfolio and quality delivered currently by Viña Tabalí, also a pioneering winery in the colonization and development of emerging wine-zones.

Tabalí and Leyda will go on  working autonomously in positioning their own appellations and brands around the world, as well as on investigation and winemaking management, leaded by their young and innovative winemaking teams.

This investment made by Tabalí, owned in equal shares by the Chilean businessman Guillermo Luksic, and Viña San Pedro, also satisfies San Pedro's objectives assumed during these last years of investing and giving direct support to more profitable and growing wine-segments, doing this by the development of projects, brands and ranges of first class and top quality wines.

Viña Tabalí

Located at the Limarí Valley, 400 Km North from Santiago, it is part of the Northernmost frontier of Chilean premium viticulture. Its origins date back to the beginning of the 90's, when technological advances and the firm decision of Chilean businessman Guillermo Luksic started the first 180 ht plantation of vines. Thanks to its special geographical and climatic characteristics -a semi-desert ambient, closeness to the sea, bright skies, hot days and cool nights-, the Limarí Valley reached worldwide fame for the singular and delicate features of its wines, being one of the most promising Chilean wine-zones today.

Viña Leyda

Viña Leyda was founded the year 1997, by businessman Luis Alberto Fernández, a pioneer on that homonymous valley, a spot recognized today as the latest grate news on Chilean viticulture. Located at 40 Km South from Casablanca, and only 14 Km away from the Pacific Ocean, its powerful influence has determined its special success with vines better adapted to cold weather, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Four years after planting the first vineyards on that zone, Viña Leyda was the first winery to bottle wine under that specific appellation.
