✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Trapiche's Gran Medalla range was originally conceived to celebrate the winery's landmark 120th anniversary, showcasing the heights of Argentine viticulture. This Chardonnay is crafted from carefully selected high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley, primarily within the cool-climate sub-region of Tupungato. Here, the intense Andean sunshine combined with cold mountain nights allows the Chardonnay grapes to ripen slowly, retaining a vibrant natural acidity. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels with regular lees stirring (bâtonnage), which imparts a luxurious, creamy texture and subtle notes of toasted brioche and vanilla, beautifully framing the wine's core of fresh pear, citrus, and mineral undertones.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bodega Trapiche blev grundlagt i 1883 af Tiburcio Benegas og hører til blandt Argentinas ældste, mest ansete og internationalt anerkendte vinproducenter med base i Maipú, Mendoza. Vingården holder til i et historisk vineri i florentinsk stil for foden af Andesbjergene, hvor over et århundredes vindyrkningstradition forenes med nyskabende innovation og biodynamiske metoder. Trapiche er berømt som en sand pioner for argentinsk Malbec og samarbejder med dedikerede vinbønder i de bedste mikroklimaer for at skabe terroirdrevne Single Vineyard-aftapninger, alsidige Oak Cask-varianter samt elegante hvidvine og mousserende vine, der alle hylder Mendozas mangeartede terroirs.
