According to Georges Ortola, the owner of Chateau Tapie, organic farming is the secret to the delicious taste of his wine. Ortola: I call Chateau Tapie a trans-generational wine. It is firm with the powerful smell and taste that has been part of our terroir since the Romans, but it is very soft to the touch. And that is the new, modern side of our wine. We have achieved that combination of strength and softness with biological work. The soil is healthier and more vital, so the plants have more resistance and the grapes develop better. They are now completely ripe, including the skin and the seeds. It contains the tannin that gives the wine its firmness. Unripe tannin feels rough in your mouth, ripe tannin provides a soft bite For Chateau Tapie we use four different grape varieties: syrah, grenache, mourvedre and carignan. This combination makes the wine richer and fuller. And tastier!
