✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted to honor Trapiche's historic achievements in global wine exhibitions dating back to the late 19th century, the Gran Medalla Malbec represents the pinnacle of Mendoza's high-altitude viticulture. Sourced primarily from select, hand-harvested vineyards in the prestigious Uco Valley, this wine thrives under the intense Andean sun and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. The stony, free-draining soils of these elevated sites impart a distinct mineral tension and concentrated black fruit profile. After fermentation, the wine undergoes extensive aging for approximately 18 months in new French oak barrels, seamlessly integrating structured, velvety tannins with complex layers of wild berries, violets, sweet spices, and a touch of smoke. It stands as a sophisticated testament to the winery's pioneering spirit and the expressive potential of Argentine Malbec.
🍾 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.
