✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
