✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's 'Pure' Chardonnay is a vibrant testament to the raw beauty of Mendoza's high-altitude terroirs, crafted entirely without the influence of oak. Sourced from select vineyards in the cool Uco Valley, this wine represents a modern, minimalist approach to winemaking. By fermenting and aging the juice strictly in stainless steel tanks, the winemakers preserve the pristine, unadorned character of the Chardonnay grape. This cuvée honors the pioneering spirit of the historic estate, founded in 1883, by showcasing how Argentina's dramatic mountain climate can produce whites of incredible freshness, mineral tension, and pure varietal expression.
🍾 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.
