NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Tapiz Alta Collection Cabernet Sauvignon is a dazzling reflection of Argentinean terroir.The wine's deep ruby hue hints at its richness. On the nose, a fragrant array of blackcurrant, cherry, and plum is intertwined with subtle notes of green bell pepper, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from its time in oak. The palate is robust yet graceful, offering a harmonious blend of ripe red and black fruit flavors, layered with nuances of cocoa, mint, and black tea. Firm tannins provide structure, while a streak of acidity ensures balance and longevity. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruits and a hint of spice. T

ORIGINS
Winery: Tapiz
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
