✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Trapiche is one of Argentina's oldest and most pioneering wineries, located in the Maipú department of Mendoza. Operating from a historic, beautifully restored Florentine-style winery built in 1912, the estate is celebrated for introducing French grape varieties and modern viticultural techniques to the region. Under the guidance of renowned winemakers, Trapiche focuses on expressing the diverse terroirs of Mendoza—ranging from high-altitude Andean vineyards to their pioneering coastal estate in Chapadmalal, Buenos Aires. The winery is globally acclaimed for its exceptional Malbecs, particularly its Single Vineyard series, as well as elegant expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.
