The Tapiz Winery, located in the San Pablo I.G. in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, has one of the highest vineyards in Mendoza at 4,600 feet above sea level. Under the ownership and vision of Patricia Ortiz, Tapiz is a pioneer in the region and helped develop San Pablo into one of Argentina’s most renowned IGs. The state-of-the art winery is located in the heart of the estate vineyards, at the foothills of the Andes Mountains.
The varietal, medicinal and creamy 2020 Alta Collection Chardonnay was produced with fruit from high-altitude vines in San Pablo. It was produced in an oxidative way, fermenting and aging it in 500-liter oak barrels with the lees and bâtonnage. It has a balsamic profile, notes of herbs and flowers and a touch of sweetness on the finish.
