✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Costa & Pampa project represents a daring departure from Argentina's traditional high-altitude, Andean viticulture, venturing instead to the rolling hills of Chapadmalal, just six kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean in the Buenos Aires Province. Here, the influence of the cold maritime breeze, abundant rainfall, and thermal amplitude create a unique microclimate. This Sauvignon Blanc is crafted to reflect this extreme coastal terroir. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant, fresh character, the wine showcases intense aromas of freshly cut grass, green apples, and citrus, underpinned by a distinct salty minerality born from the ocean winds. It is a testament to Trapiche's spirit of exploration, proving that Argentina can produce world-class, cool-climate coastal whites.
🍾 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.
