✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Terroir Series is a masterclass in micro-terroir, celebrating the individual growers of Mendoza. The Finca Orellana cuvée originates from a historic vineyard in La Consulta, Uco Valley, planted in 1947 by grower Fausto Orellana. Situated at an altitude of 990 meters, these ancient, low-yielding vines thrive in sandy loam soils over a clay subsoil, benefiting from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the Andes. The resulting wine is aged for 18 months in new French oak, delivering a powerful yet remarkably elegant Malbec defined by intense black fruit, violets, graphite, and a refined, mineral-driven structure that reflects its old-vine heritage.
