Trapiche's Terroir Series is a celebrated initiative that shines a spotlight on the independent growers of Mendoza, honoring the unique relationship between the land, the grower, and the winemaker. The Viña Jorge Miralles bottling originates from a meticulously farmed single vineyard in La Consulta, located in the high-altitude Uco Valley. Situated at over 970 meters above sea level, this vineyard benefits from intense Andean sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, yielding Malbec grapes with exceptional concentration, thick skins, and vibrant natural acidity. Aged for 12 to 18 months in new French oak barrels, this wine is a profound expression of its origin, offering a seamless blend of dark plum, wild berry, and violet notes, underpinned by a distinct mineral backbone and velvety, structured tannins.
