✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Terroir Series is an annual tribute to the exceptional independent grape growers of Mendoza, showcasing the profound impact of specific microclimates and soils on the Malbec grape. The Finca Ambrosia bottling originates from a highly acclaimed vineyard in Gualtallary, Tupungato, situated in the high-altitude reaches of the Uco Valley at approximately 1,300 meters above sea level. In this extreme environment, the vines grow in gravelly soils rich in calcium carbonate, exposed to intense Andean sunlight and cool mountain nights. This unique terroir imparts a distinctive mineral tension, vibrant acidity, and refined, chalky tannins. The wine is aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, resulting in a deeply concentrated, complex, and elegant expression of high-altitude Argentine Malbec that honors the collaborative spirit between the winery and its dedicated growers.
