✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Gran Medalla range represents a celebration of the winery's historic legacy, showcasing the potential of Mendoza's premium high-altitude terroirs. While Argentina is synonymous with Malbec, the cool-climate microclimates of the Uco Valley, situated at the foot of the Andes, provide an ideal environment for Pinot Noir. Sourced from select vineyards where cold mountain nights preserve acidity and intense daytime sun coaxes out complex aromatics, this wine is crafted with meticulous care. It undergoes gentle fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a refined expression that balances bright red berry fruit with subtle earthy undertones and elegant spice.
