✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced from select high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, where the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the Andean foothills preserve vibrant acidity, Trapiche's Reserve Chardonnay is a testament to Argentina's diverse white wine potential. Trapiche, a pioneer in Argentine winemaking since 1883, crafts this wine to showcase a harmonious balance between fresh tropical fruit and elegant structure. The grapes undergo a careful selection process, with a portion of the blend aged in French oak barrels to introduce subtle notes of honey, toasted brioche, and vanilla, while the remainder rests in stainless steel to maintain its crisp, fruit-forward character.
🍾 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.
