Award Winning Winemaker
Felipe Müller, Tabalí’s winemaker since 2006, was born and raised in Santiago, Chile’s capital. Today, at the age of 41, he is considered one of the country's most influential and important winemakers. He has been twice named "Best Winemaker" in Chile.
In 2001 he joined Viña De Martino as the second winemaker, in charge of viticulture as well as the vinification for red and white wines. In this winery, he worked with winemaker Marcelo Retamal, and formed a bold and renowned "Wine Dupla". Together they discovered new wines, studied various valleys and regions of Chile and vinificated around 350 vineyards throughout the country.
Felipe's experience extends to Bordeaux. He worked harvests at two famous Chateaux Grand Cru Classé in Saint Emilion, France:
Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere and Chateau La Mondotte.
Felipe Müller was named ‘Best Winemaker of the Year’ in the sixteenth version of “Guía de Vinos de Chile 2010”, Chile’s oldest and most prestigious wine industry publication. This distinction was an important recognition for the enthusiasm, passion and dedication he puts in crafting wines. “Wine is my passion and an important part of my life. I feel capable of leveraging the knowledge I’ve built throughout these many years", says Felipe.
In 2011, Felipe was appointed Manager Director, keeping his position as Chief Winemaker. He is responsible for the quality of the wines and for the global strategy of the company.
In January 2014 Felipe Müller was chosen ‘Best Young Winemaker’ (next to Aurelio Montes who was chosen Best Senior Winemaker).
Tabali's Vision
Tabali strives to be a role model and a "not-to-be-missed" winery in Chile. Their wines are largely regarded as some of the best wines produced in Chile thanks to ownership that spares no expense.
Tabali Wines
Tabali's winemaking process is focused on highlighting the unique characteristics of each terroir. Each wine presents distinct quality, elegance, complexity and precision.
What Makes Tabali Unique?
Tabali owns vineyards in Maipo where they produce their best-selling Pedregoso Cabernet Sauvignon. Further north of Santiago, in the Limarí Valley, very close to the Pacific Ocean, Tabali owns vineyards that sit on limestone soils. Tabali's cool climate Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Syrah benefit from a combination of the sea breeze, cool temperature and calcareous limestone soil.
Tabalí has a strong focus in quality over quantity. The Winery is a small-scale, exclusive, family winery focused on detail. It is built in such a way that the fruit and wine are transported by gravity. The winery aims to avoid any unnecessary pumping and relies on nature to do the work wherever possible.

Specifically, Talinay Lítico Malbec 2017 was awarded with 92 points. James Suckling comments: “Rich dark-plum and mulberry aromas with blackberries and notes of clove and chocolate. The palate is very rich, dense and ripe. Essence-like flavors of dark berries abound. Drink or hold”. ~James Suckling

Currently, half a dozen mega-distributors control nearly 70% of all the wine and spirits distributed throughout the US.
What does that mean for you? It means that most Americans only have access to 11% of all wine brands produced in the US, according to Silicon Valley Bank.
Working directly with Bighammerwines.com means you have access to a larger selection of high quality wines. By shrinking the distance between wineries and consumers like you, BHW is reducing the high carbon footprint that is typical in the three-tiered distribution system.
