✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Bodega Trapiche stands as one of the historic pillars of Argentine viticulture. Located in Coquimbito, Maipú, within a meticulously restored 1912 Florentine-style bodega, the estate balances immense production scale with nuanced terroir exploration. Under the ownership of Grupo Peñaflor and winemaking direction of Sergio Casé, Trapiche orchestrates fruit from over 1,000 hectares of estate vineyards alongside long-term grower partnerships. Holdings span high-altitude alluvial terraces in the Uco Valley, classic Primera Zona terroirs, and pioneering cool-climate oceanic sites in Chapadmalal on the Atlantic coast. Viticulture emphasizes environmental sustainability, complemented by certified biodynamic estate parcels. In the cellar, gentle extraction and refined oak aging define benchmark expressions like the iconic Iscay blend, the single-vineyard Terroir Series Malbecs, and the maritime Costa & Pampa line, showcasing the dynamic breadth of contemporary Argentina.
