Trapiche's Melodias range is inspired by the concept of musical harmony, aiming to translate the vibrant energy and diverse terroirs of Mendoza into accessible, expressive wines. The Melodias Pinot Grigio is sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the foothills of the Andes, where intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts allow the grapes to ripen fully while retaining their essential acidity. To preserve its crisp, lively character and delicate fruit profile, the wine is fermented and aged entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding any oak contact. This approach highlights the pure, refreshing essence of the grape, showcasing Mendoza's ability to produce bright, clean, and modern white wines.

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.
