✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 'Medalla' range was originally created in 1983 to celebrate the centenary of Trapiche, marking a historic milestone as one of Argentina's first premium, wood-aged collections. Crafted from select high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza's premier growing regions, this Chardonnay beautifully showcases the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the Andes. The grapes undergo fermentation and aging in French oak barrels with regular lees stirring (bâtonnage), a process that imparts a rich, creamy texture and complex notes of toasted brioche, vanilla, and hazelnut. This structure is elegantly balanced by vibrant natural acidity and bright tropical fruit flavors of mango, red apple, and citrus, reflecting a sophisticated harmony between New World fruit intensity and classic Burgundian-style winemaking techniques.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bodega Trapiche blev grundlagt i 1883 af Tiburcio Benegas og hører til blandt Argentinas ældste, mest ansete og internationalt anerkendte vinproducenter med base i Maipú, Mendoza. Vingården holder til i et historisk vineri i florentinsk stil for foden af Andesbjergene, hvor over et århundredes vindyrkningstradition forenes med nyskabende innovation og biodynamiske metoder. Trapiche er berømt som en sand pioner for argentinsk Malbec og samarbejder med dedikerede vinbønder i de bedste mikroklimaer for at skabe terroirdrevne Single Vineyard-aftapninger, alsidige Oak Cask-varianter samt elegante hvidvine og mousserende vine, der alle hylder Mendozas mangeartede terroirs.
