✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Reserve Malbec is a classic representation of Mendoza's signature grape, sourced from select high-altitude vineyards at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. The intense mountain sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature swings of Mendoza allow the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining a vibrant, balancing acidity. This wine undergoes a traditional fermentation followed by aging for approximately nine months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. This careful wood treatment imparts elegant nuances of vanilla and sweet spices to the wine's core of lush plum, black cherry, and characteristic violet aromas, reflecting Trapiche's long-standing heritage of pioneering quality in Argentina.
