Tapiz Malbec Rosé
Tapiz Rosé ia a 100% Malbec from San Pablo Single Vineyard, Uco Valley, Mendoza. The wine gains its intensity from cold maceration with the must in contact with the Malbec grapes for 24 hours; fermentation is then with selected yeasts at a low temperature.
Intense rosé colour; a seductive nose with a full fruit character, touches of ripe cherries and delicate floral hues. Fresh, balanced with a long aftertaste.

Bodegas Fincas Patagonicas
Fincas Patagonicas was built in 1999 when the Californian company Kendall Jackson expanded into Argentina, The winery was bought in 2003 by the Argentine family Ortiz who already had vineyards in the region. They have successfully changed the direction of the Tapiz brand, from one aimed at the American market to wines with international appeal.
Tapiz markets itself as “Argentine heritage with cosmopolitan flair” showcasing the extraordinary qualities of contemporary Argentine winemaking. A combination of a diversity of terroir in 140ha of vineyards, one of the most technological wineries in Argentina and an emphasis on quality fruit and structure has produced a range of classically styled, award winning wines.
They can be considered as textbook interpretations of the varietals. Jean Claude Berrouet, winemaker at Ch. Petrus from 1964 – 2007, now acts as a consultant both to Tapiz and to the famous Bordeaux Château.
