Tapiz

Located in San Pablo, Uco Valley, the winery’s capacity is 600.000 liters in stainless steel tanks and has 500 oak barrels, 70% French and 30% American. It is equipped with a bottling line and stowage and dedicated exclusively to the elaboration of the Tapiz lines
The grapes find a perfect combination of soil, mostly of alluvial origin formed by mountain rivers; a climate with optimal solar radiation and good thermal amplitude even in summer. This, aided by reasoned canopy and irrigation management, allows to obtain wines with great fruit potential, structure and maximum quality in each varietal.

We select grapes from the so-called first vineyard area, the most important and extensive wine-growing region in Argentina and one of the main wine-growing regions in South America. Located in Agrelo, Alto Agrelo and Maipú, in Mendoza for its Zolo line; in the Uco Valley in Vistaflores, Tupungato and San Pablo, for its Tapiz line; and in San Javier Río Negro, for its oceanic wines.
