✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the Quechua word for 'two', Iscay represents a masterful duality: the blending of two noble grape varieties and the collaboration of pioneering winemaking minds. This iconic cuvée from Trapiche brings together Malbec and Cabernet Franc, sourced from the high-altitude terroirs of the Uco Valley in Mendoza. The Malbec, grown in the cool climate of El Cepillo, provides deep, velvety black fruit and floral notes, while the Cabernet Franc from the stony soils of Gualtallary contributes structure, tension, and a signature herbaceous complexity. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, this wine is a testament to Mendoza's ability to produce world-class blends that combine New World fruit intensity with Old World elegance and restraint.
