✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from Trapiche's pioneering maritime vineyards in Chapadmalal, just six kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean in the Buenos Aires Province, the Costa & Pampa Albariño represents a daring departure from Argentina's traditional high-altitude, continental terroirs. Inspired by the coastal wines of Galicia, this unique project thrives under the influence of cold ocean breezes, frequent rains, and a genuinely maritime climate. The vines are planted on rolling hills of fertile loam over a limestone base, yielding a wine defined by its vibrant, electric acidity and a distinct saline minerality. Fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character, this Albariño captures the essence of the South Atlantic coast, offering a beautifully textured palate marked by stone fruits, citrus zest, and a refreshing ocean spray finish.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Bodega Trapiche stands as one of the historic pillars of Argentine viticulture. Located in Coquimbito, Maipú, within a meticulously restored 1912 Florentine-style bodega, the estate balances immense production scale with nuanced terroir exploration. Under the ownership of Grupo Peñaflor and winemaking direction of Sergio Casé, Trapiche orchestrates fruit from over 1,000 hectares of estate vineyards alongside long-term grower partnerships. Holdings span high-altitude alluvial terraces in the Uco Valley, classic Primera Zona terroirs, and pioneering cool-climate oceanic sites in Chapadmalal on the Atlantic coast. Viticulture emphasizes environmental sustainability, complemented by certified biodynamic estate parcels. In the cellar, gentle extraction and refined oak aging define benchmark expressions like the iconic Iscay blend, the single-vineyard Terroir Series Malbecs, and the maritime Costa & Pampa line, showcasing the dynamic breadth of contemporary Argentina.
