✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Las Palmas' range pays homage to the majestic, historic palm trees that frame the entrance of Trapiche's iconic Florentine-style winery in Maipú, Mendoza, built in 1912. This wine represents a classic, time-honored expression of Argentine Malbec, sourced from select high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza where warm sunny days and cool Andean nights preserve fresh acidity. Crafted with traditional methods, the wine undergoes careful aging in a combination of French and American oak casks. This process beautifully marries Malbec's signature lush plum, blackberry, and violet aromas with subtle, elegant notes of vanilla, toasted cocoa, and sweet spice, delivering a velvety texture that has defined the estate's reliable quality for generations.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Bodega Trapiche stands as one of the historic pillars of Argentine viticulture. Located in Coquimbito, Maipú, within a meticulously restored 1912 Florentine-style bodega, the estate balances immense production scale with nuanced terroir exploration. Under the ownership of Grupo Peñaflor and winemaking direction of Sergio Casé, Trapiche orchestrates fruit from over 1,000 hectares of estate vineyards alongside long-term grower partnerships. Holdings span high-altitude alluvial terraces in the Uco Valley, classic Primera Zona terroirs, and pioneering cool-climate oceanic sites in Chapadmalal on the Atlantic coast. Viticulture emphasizes environmental sustainability, complemented by certified biodynamic estate parcels. In the cellar, gentle extraction and refined oak aging define benchmark expressions like the iconic Iscay blend, the single-vineyard Terroir Series Malbecs, and the maritime Costa & Pampa line, showcasing the dynamic breadth of contemporary Argentina.
