✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Melodias Winemaker Selection Malbec is crafted to capture the vibrant, musical rhythm of Mendoza's high-altitude terroirs. The name 'Melodias' evokes the harmonious blending of sun, soil, and Andean meltwater that defines Argentine viticulture. Sourced from selected vineyards across Mendoza, this wine undergoes a gentle fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with a portion of the blend aged in oak to add subtle complexity without overshadowing the bright, primary fruit. It offers an expressive profile dominated by ripe red plums, cherries, and a touch of sweet spice, reflecting the pioneering spirit of Tiburcio Benegas who helped shape Mendoza's wine destiny in the late 19th century.

Operating from a historic Florentine-style winery at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, the estate combines over a century of viticultural heritage with pioneering innovation and biodynamic practices. Renowned as a trailblazer of Argentine Malbec, Trapiche works with grower vineyards across premium microclimates to craft terroir-driven Single Vineyard selections, versatile Oak Cask varietals, and elegant white and sparkling wines that celebrate the diverse terroirs of Mendoza.
