✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Oak Cask Pinot Noir represents a fascinating exploration of cool-climate viticulture within the high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza. Sourced from selected vineyards at the foothills of the Andes, where warm sunny days are balanced by cold mountain nights, this wine captures the delicate, ethereal nature of Pinot Noir. The Oak Cask line is celebrated for its balance of fruit purity and subtle oak integration, with the wine undergoing aging in selected oak casks for up to nine months. This process softens the tannins and imparts delicate notes of vanilla and toast to the bright red berry profile, showcasing Trapiche's historic commitment to pioneering French varietals in Argentina.
