✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Single Vineyard series is a masterful tribute to the independent grape growers of Mendoza, with this specific bottling celebrating the exceptional fruit cultivated by grower Francisco Orive in the prestigious Agrelo district of Luján de Cuyo. Situated at an elevation of approximately 950 meters, the vineyard thrives in Agrelo's deep, clay-loam soils, which are renowned for producing Malbecs of incredible depth, plush tannins, and rich texture. The wine undergoes meticulous fermentation followed by aging in French oak barrels for 12 to 18 months. This process yields a sophisticated, full-bodied red that beautifully balances intense dark fruit flavors with subtle notes of spice, balsamic, and graphite, embodying the true spirit of Agrelo's terroir.
