Winery

Tapiz is one of the new and successful wineries in Argentina. Our success is based on our great terroirs, our brand new equipment and technology and, above all, our strong and experienced team. Winemaker Fabian Valenzuela was joined by Jean Claude Berrouet in 2012. Jean Claude is the recently-retired winemaker of Petrus, having presided over 44 vintages at this revered Bordeaux winery. We are proud that Jean Claude chose to work with us exclusively in Argentina.

We are a 100% family business, that started 10 years ago with a clear mission:  to produce the best wines and olive oils possible, protecting the environment and preserving regional cultures.

Our terroir defines us and our products are our finest expression of this identity. We are convinced that to achieve these goals, we must produce our grapes, so that every year each segment remains its style and quality.  We have 8 vineyards in the best and most representative wine areas, Globalgap and Good Manufacturing certified, allowing us to have lines with specific characteristics of each region.

Candice Chow from Raymond Chan wine reviews
Bright, medium yellow with a gold hue, even colour throughout. The nose is fresh and softly full, packed with aromas of citrus, apple, delicate spice, flint and subtle notes of almond. Medium-full bodied, elegantly presented on the palate, apple, lemon apricot possesses freshness and energy, adorned by spice, toffee apple and almond. A hint of smoky, toasty oak lingers to a long, enticing finish. The mouthfeel is smooth, lightly creamy with a fine phenolic texture. Excellent acidity provides vibrancy and vitality and lightens up the toffee apple and toasty oak element. This elegant, well-balanced Chardonnay features acid precision and attractive barrel details. Match with stuffed quail and miso-glazed eggplant over the next 5+ years. Fermented to 14.1% alc, aged 8 months in French oak barrels. 18.5+/20 pts (94 pts)
