✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Costa & Pampa project represents a daring viticultural frontier in Argentina, located in Chapadmalal, Buenos Aires Province, just six kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean. Breaking away from the traditional high-altitude, arid terroirs of Mendoza, this pioneering estate embraces a true maritime climate characterized by cool ocean breezes, abundant rainfall, and thermal moderation. The Gewurztraminer planted here thrives in these unique conditions, developing intense aromatics without losing its refreshing natural acidity. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its pure varietal character, this wine offers a fascinating coastal expression of a classic European grape, marked by a distinct saline minerality derived from the nearby sea.
🍾 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.
