The Story: TAPI – Marlborough’s Tallest Mountain.
A bright and memorable wine, named after the imperial Mt Tapuae-o- Uenuku or Tapi (tap-ee) as the locals call it, is a beacon that rises above the famous Marlborough wine region. TAPI wines are true small batch and sustainable. All hands-on processes, all heart. The TAPI label is inspired by the rainbow that forms over the mountain every time is rains and the name translates from Māori as "footprint of the rainbow".
We’re a family. We are two couples and four mates with a shared belief in making wines that honour the land. Gus & Swan Altschwager and Mark & Emma Kenneally create Tapi wines with a focus on quality and certified sustainability. We are hands-on in the vineyards and are passionate about sustainable viticulture practice and small- batch production.
