✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Perfiles series is an avant-garde exploration of how different soil textures in Mendoza shape the ultimate character of Malbec. The Textura Fina (Fine Texture) bottling is sourced from vineyards planted in deep, silty-clay soils, primarily in the Agrelo region of Luján de Cuyo. These fine-grained soils retain moisture beautifully, allowing the vines to undergo a slow, balanced ripening process. The resulting wine is celebrated for its incredibly plush, velvety mouthfeel and soft, integrated tannins, offering a stark and fascinating contrast to the chalky, mineral-driven profiles of limestone-grown Malbecs. Winemaking emphasizes gentle extraction and moderate oak aging to preserve the luscious red fruit profile and the naturally silky texture that defines this unique terroir study.
