✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the Quechua word for 'two,' Iscay represents the harmonious duality of two grape varieties and the shared vision of Trapiche's winemaking team. This exceptional blend pays homage to the traditional Northern Rhône style, co-fermenting robust Syrah with a small percentage of aromatic Viognier. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, the grapes benefit from intense Andean sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. This unique terroir imparts deep color, structural complexity, and vibrant acidity. The wine is aged for 15 to 18 months in French oak casks, resulting in a sophisticated profile characterized by ripe black fruits, cracked black pepper, violets, and a subtle, elegant lift of peach blossom from the Viognier.
