✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's classic Mendoza Malbec is a vibrant testament to the grape that redefined Argentine viticulture. Born in the high-altitude foothills of the Andes Mountains, where intense daytime sun is balanced by cool alpine nights, this wine captures the pure, expressive fruit character of Mendoza's diverse terroirs. Trapiche, a pioneer in the region since 1883, crafts this Malbec to showcase the varietal's signature plushness and accessibility. Sourced from vineyards irrigated by pure Andean snowmelt, the grapes undergo careful fermentation in stainless steel to preserve their bright primary fruit, often followed by a brief period of oak aging to add subtle notes of vanilla and spice to the rich plum and black cherry profile.
