Tapiz Merlot

Dark crimson in colour. A sweet bouquet, with intense aromas of ripe red fruit and jam. The vanilla and toasted are present in equilibrium with the fruit. The palate shows soft tannins, with a bit of refreshing acidity giving real substance and character. Balanced and long on the finish.

Tapiz is one of Argentina’s most technologically advanced wineries, and boasts some of Mendoza’s finest and highest estate vineyards. Winemaker Fabian Valenzuela creates a beautiful tapiz (tapestry) between the wine's intense, high- altitude fruit and its oak aging, creating a family of full-bodied wines that beautifully complement food. Patricia Ortiz is the owner and President, and Carlos Correas is the Vineyard Manager. Tapiz Winery develops its wines using grapes which come from a group of carefully selected vineyards located in Mendoza and Salta, with altitudes ranging from 3000 to 4400 feet high. Flanked by the imposing Andes mountain range, these vineyards are subjected to unique bio - climatic characteristics, thus making it a unique terroir for winemaking.
