Trapiche's Melodias range is crafted to showcase the vibrant, youthful energy of Argentina's signature grape varieties. The Torrontes, a unique grape native to Argentina that arose from a natural cross of Muscat of Alexandria and Criolla Chica, thrives under the intense sun and cool night breezes of high-altitude Argentine vineyards. To preserve its famously expressive and delicate floral character, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with no oak aging. The result is a wine that sings with fresh, aromatic intensity, capturing the lively spirit of Mendoza's terroir in an accessible, refreshing style.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Trapiche is one of Argentina's oldest and most pioneering wineries, located in the Maipú department of Mendoza. 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. The winery is globally acclaimed for its exceptional Malbecs, particularly its Single Vineyard series, as well as elegant expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.
