Tagaris Winery: Organically Crafted, Commercially Proven – A Worthy Washington Wine Partner

19/05/2025 Estate-grown organic grapes, award-winning wines, and unmatched distributor support—Tagaris Winery brings premium Washington terroir to market

In a saturated wine market where authenticity and values are more than buzzwords, Tagaris Winery stands tall as a heritage-driven, certified organic brand offering distributors something truly rare: an estate-to-bottle experience rooted in sustainability, excellence, and real commercial momentum.

Based in Washington’s Wahluke Slope, one of the state’s warmest and most prestigious AVAs, Tagaris Winery grows and produces wine with a philosophy that blends Old World principles with New World potential. Every bottle tells a story—from soil to shelf—and now, with proven market performance and a strong distributor support program, Tagaris is looking to partner with like-minded wholesalers who share their passion for organic, honest wine.

Why Tagaris Stands Out

At the heart of Tagaris is a commitment to purity and sustainability. All wines are produced from certified organic estate-grown grapes, cultivated on deep sandy soils without pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or glyphosate. The vineyards are Global GAP certified, setting the standard for sustainable agriculture and environmental integrity in Washington State.

This organic ethos isn't just for show—it translates directly into clean, expressive wines that resonate with today’s health-conscious consumers and environmentally aware buyers. Tagaris has already become a trusted source for custom production for brands like Avaline, Trader Joe’s, Childress Vineyards, and The Vanderbilt Resort—a clear signal of commercial viability and production trust.

A Winemaker with a Story Worth Bottling

Behind the bottle is Frank Roth, Head Winemaker since 2005. With roots stretching back to working under legends like Rob Griffin and hands-on training in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, Frank’s philosophy is refreshingly simple: minimal intervention, light oak, lower alcohol, and varietal authenticity.

“Our wines aren't just for connoisseurs,” says Roth. “They're for anyone who wants to enjoy a good glass without the pretense.” This grounded approach has earned Tagaris critical acclaim across the board. Recent wins include:

  • Best White Wine in the USA (2023 Tagaris Pinot Gris – 96 pts, USA Wine Ratings)
  • Best in Class Awards for Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Semillon, and Tempranillo
  • Double Gold & Best in Northwest (2021 Tempranillo, Sip Magazine)
  • 95-point Cabernet Franc at Savor Northwest

Built for Growth, Backed by Results

Tagaris isn’t just about accolades—it’s about measurable market traction. In 2024, the winery moved 2,697 cases, a 64% increase from the previous year, adding 25 new buyers and 82 placements through a focused incentive program. Best-sellers like the Clonk de Plonk Red Blend, Organic Cabernet Sauvignon, and BoarDoe Red Blend show how Tagaris wines move in both independent retail and premium on-premise accounts.

With pricing and wholesale structures tailored to market demands, Tagaris has built a platform that invites distributor collaboration while leaving room for healthy margins.

A True Distribution Partner

Tagaris brings more to the table than just excellent wine. They’re committed to long-term distributor success, offering:

  • Volume-based incentives and introductory offers
  • Staff wine education & organic certification training
  • Custom point of sale (POS) kits (shelf talkers, brochures, digital assets)
  • Joint marketing campaigns, tastings, and event support
  • White-label/private label capabilities for growth-focused partners

Let’s Talk Terroir—Together

As the organic wine market booms worldwide—with projections of 27% growth by 2027—distributors have a unique opportunity to align with a brand that checks every box: quality, credibility, sustainability, and scalability.

Tagaris is export-ready, fully certified, and equipped to support distributors targeting wine clubs, restaurants, private label buyers, and subscription-based audiences. And with wine crafted specifically for today’s clean-label drinker, the fit is clear.
