Hailing from Trapiche's pioneering maritime vineyards in Chapadmalal, just six kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean in the Buenos Aires province, the Costa & Pampa Pinot Grigio represents a bold departure from Argentina's traditional high-altitude Andean terroirs. Here, the rolling green hills are swept by constant, cool ocean breezes, creating a unique microclimate with moderate temperatures and high humidity. This maritime influence allows the Pinot Grigio grapes to ripen slowly, retaining exceptional natural acidity and developing delicate, nuanced aromas. Fermented entirely in stainless steel to preserve its pristine fruit character, this wine captures the fresh, saline essence of the Argentine coast, offering a vibrant and mineral-driven profile that is redefining the country's white wine landscape.

Founded in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Trapiche is one of Argentina's oldest and most pioneering wineries, located in the Maipú department of Mendoza. Operating from a historic, beautifully restored Florentine-style winery built in 1912, the estate is celebrated for introducing French grape varieties and modern viticultural techniques to the region. Under the guidance of renowned winemakers, Trapiche focuses on expressing the diverse terroirs of Mendoza—ranging from high-altitude Andean vineyards to their pioneering coastal estate in Chapadmalal, Buenos Aires. The winery is globally acclaimed for its exceptional Malbecs, particularly its Single Vineyard series, as well as elegant expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.
