The vines are grown on a mix of soils: some have a volcanic origin with finer textures locally known as “rofe” and other are sedimentary with a significant sandy marine component, aka, “jable”. This not only explains the name of the project, but also the dazzling mineral profile and marked saline finish that all the Jable de Tao wines possess.
