✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of the year Trapiche was founded and the historic railway station that once stood beside the winery, Estacion 1883 Bonarda celebrates the railway heritage that was crucial for transporting Mendoza's wines to the world. Bonarda, historically Argentina's second most planted red grape, thrives in the sun-drenched terroirs of Mendoza. Trapiche crafts this expression to showcase the grape's vibrant, joyful character, utilizing careful fermentation and moderate oak aging to preserve its signature bright red fruit, wild berry aromas, and soft, approachable tannins.
🍾 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.
