โจ Technical Specifications
The Melodias Winemaker Selection Chardonnay by Trapiche is crafted as a tribute to the harmonious relationship between nature, music, and the art of winemaking. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza, where the dramatic presence of the Andes Mountains creates warm, sun-drenched days and cool, crisp nights. This climate allows the Chardonnay grapes to develop rich tropical fruit flavors while retaining a vibrant, refreshing acidity. To preserve its bright, fruit-forward personality, the wine is fermented primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding heavy oak influence. The result is an expressive, approachable white wine that captures the pure, melodic essence of Argentine Chardonnay, filled with notes of red apple, ripe pineapple, and citrus.
