✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Costa & Pampa project represents a daring departure from Argentina's traditional high-altitude, arid terroirs. Situated in Chapadmalal, just six kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean in the Buenos Aires Province, these vineyards are heavily influenced by a cool, humid maritime climate. This unique setting allows Riesling to thrive in a way previously unseen in Argentina. The constant sea breezes and moderate temperatures slow down ripening, preserving vibrant natural acidity and fostering intense aromatic development. The resulting wine is a testament to Trapiche's spirit of exploration, delivering a remarkably fresh, mineral-driven Riesling that captures the wild essence of the South Atlantic coast.
