Made by the Champagne method, a towering 1350-meters above sea level, Tapiz farms their estate fruit in one of the newest sub-regions of the Uco Valley, San Pablo. With a highly skilled winemaking team, including Jean Claude Berrouet (formerly of Pétrus for 44 years), Tapiz is making some of the most stunning sparkling wine in Argentina, period.  

Who thought Malbec could be so delicate and dry, fresh as strawberries, and pale pink light? With 9 months on the lees and aged in steel, the wine is a delicious yin-yang of fruit, freshness, texture, and acidity. As Cabernet Franc continues to be the surprise red of Mendoza, should Malbec stick to sparkling? My "Champagne Snob" friends were, even, impressed! So, grab what you can before it goes poof. ~Allegra A
